Dramatic Events Still connected in a strong love relationship in the second drama season, Gritchen tried to reconnect with her old group of friends by throwing herself at a housewarming party. Jimmy does his best to confirm his belief that friends are for babies. Edgar continues his quest for Lindsay, and meets Lindsay with her new marital love. Jimmy spends the day with an eccentric writer in a one-day job interview. Gretchen deals with the labor crisis. Edgar discovers the magic of improvisational comedy. Lindsay serves divorce papers.
You're the Worst isn't just drunker, sassier, and funnier than most sitcoms on the air. It takes decades of small-screen orthodoxy and slaps it, gleefully, upside its snooty, puritanical head.
Everybody knows that moving in with your significant other is merely the first stop on the train to Snores-ville, but you'll be happy to know that's not quite the case for You're the Worst's Jimmy and Gretchen.
You're the Worst can't really be compared to anything else in its genre because Jimmy and Gretchen's relationship is not what normal people do. But normal is boring. Who needs normal?
The show will have to adjust to its leads making strides toward maturity and monogamy, and away from the holistically bad behavior that defined season 1, but You're the Worst is, at least for now, still a riot blessed with an ace cast and strong writing.
You're the Worst keeps you laughing at its post-everything millennials with sensationally salty humor and keeps you hooked with a belief in old-fashioned redemption.
With this vicious, clever and loving (yes, loving) instructional berating, "You're the Worst" defines itself by what's made it must-watch TV since it premiered last year: being the best for the worst within us.
Should Season 3 continue to explore what family means to Jimmy, Gretchen, the still-adrift Edgar, and the expectant Lindsay, it has the potential to live up to the groundbreaking second season.
