    Honestly the family is just kinda slapstick but I really disliked how Yolanda treated Todd. She was so dismissive of him as a person, she liked an idea of him that wasn’t him and everything he said when breaking up with her was accurate.

    Now Maude, I adored. 👍

      I didn’t like how Yolanda acted with Todd, but the point the show was making was they weren’t automatically compatible romantically just because they were both aces, and that was good. I also liked the episode for Yolanda coming out to her family and then learning what asexual was and coming to accept her.

        I definitely appreciate the Yolanda arc for what it does for Ace representation 👍 I also think the way she treats Todd shows that aside from being asexual she is not experienced in relationships in general. She isn’t shown having friendships or connecting with others well. Her whole family has a very self involved dynamic and shows where her problem behaviors arose from.

        It’s a good storyline and the coming out story is a really smart twist on the coming out story trope. If the characters were more likeable and less self centered the storyline probably would have suffered.

        I’m really just saying I don’t like the way they treated each other or Todd. I love me a good wacky Todd episode but this one is harder because I feel bad for Todd putting up with their crap all night and I was proud of him for setting a boundary and breaking up with her.
