First Date was amazing. The condom jar and the neogaffer slayed me. So good.

Somebody mentioned he builds material from his life experiences so maybe he really has spent Thanksgivings at black houses.
Neogaffer?
Yea he probably did.
I always loved Aziz but I didn't know he had this side of him. This is definitely his best work

Episode 6 was the best of the entire season for me, that was amazing how that all came together. And generally, just was a great feel good episode
.
Thanksgiving, was also really really good although i do have one gripe
.
On the ending:
Great season, this was some fantastic work from Aziz and the team.
the last segment with the taxi driver was my favorite bit - his face at the ending was gold lol

Michelle was in no way what I expected and was disconnected from her portrayal in season 1 (princess love or lil funyuns or something). But Joyce and Grandma were really good in the episode
On the ending:
I'm glad Dev and Franchesca got together in the end. I didn't know what to expect with Rachel showing up, and was really surprised Franchesca decided to stay with Dev (especially with the way Dev handled Franchesca putting him down). Loved how the ending was handled.

The actress is Aparna Nancherla, who is a decent standup comedian, check her out.

dev's cousin is the worst actor of all time
Was that Indian girl he was talking to his cousin as well?
EDIT: http://brooklyn99.wikia.com/wiki/Lakshmi_Sundaram
But he was pretty.
The younger guy who ate pork with Dev.
It's his real life cousin. I'm kinda surprised that's what he looks like after hearing so much about him in Aziz's standup
Music was indeed awesome.
Hearing Kraftwerk gave me a huge smile.
Are you thinking of the Coldplay song "Talk"?
I know it sampled that song in particular.
There's only one version.

Naveed. I mentioned back on page one that he was fucking hilariously bad.
Haha, holy shit that's Harris?! He's nothing like I expected.
Just finished episode 9, I love this show so much, and it's ridiculously good looking as well, been a surprisingly good showcase for my new TV.
so this song has been my fucking jam the past few days. the bass and guitar parts around 16s in after the intro are so good.

So...did anyone try the "Whole Foods" line on Tinder yet?
yeah at first I thought it might be a flashback because of the snow, but they are clearly wearing different clothes, and like you said, the ring thing
edit: ah shit, double post, sorry.
Nah, I remember a female singing voice and I want to say it might have been used comedically, or at least in a comedy of some kind? It's killing me lol. I know I've heard it I just don't know wheeeerrrrreeee

Four episodes in and this is the real deal, hilarious shit so far. Loving everything about it.
Arnold and Brian completely ruin this show for me, to be honest. Their acting is just not believable; almost student film-level.
is it really a
happy ending, though? she didn't seem that happy to me.
maybe i'm misinterpreting the ending.

Goddamn. I was surprised and enjoyed the first season, but the second season has been far more consistent and stellar as a whole.
Bravo.

Agree somewhat with this sentiment, it is really distracting at times, though I don't find it 'ruins' the show, just a weird blemish on an otherwise great show.
I ultimately don't mind the first two... more or less, but yea, I don't enjoy the scenes with his mom at times. She's not nearly as endearing as his father is. But I dunno, I kind of get through it by how sweet it is that that is his actual mother.

Agree 100%. The last shot makes no sense, Dev was
selfish, especially to his lack of understanding of her circumstances, like a spoiled child, didn't deserve her.
I hope it ends up being a dream.

I think the last
shot is very bad. It is confusing and weird that it appears to be on the same exact day as that other night. That doesn't add anything, it just looks sloppy. Also, the show isn't about the plot, it is about the experiences that Dev goes through. A cliffhanger is wrong for this sort of show.

Season two proved to be very enjoyable for the most part. Episodes 1 through 8 were all wonderful to one extent or another, but the last two I didnt like nearly as much. I guess the overarching relationship stuff didnt work out quite in the way that I had hoped this time around.
As for the ending,
As for the ending,
I dont see the relationship between the two lasting. I think Francesca was (understandably) more worried about losing her chance to experience things that she wouldnt get to experience if she married Pino (they really made him out to be a bit of a jerk) than she was in love with Dev specifically. He just happened to become a part of her life at a critical point in time and inadvertently helped her break out of that future. Not that either of them knew this at the time. At least thats roughly how I interpreted their relationship and the final shot, but well see if there ever is a third season.

I just finished the I Love You, New York episode. That was fantastic. I absolutely LOVED it.
EDIT: And I think Dev's producer might be my second favorite character after Arnold, haha.

Interesting to see the reactions in this thread. I agree with most of them. But my girlfriend's take was interesting, as she hated the final 2 episodes and felt they
which I can totally understand even I don't feel as strongly about it as she does. I think the beauty of the show is that it doesn't depict perfect people and perfect relationships. It just depicts things as they are for many people, which is why it's relatable.
I think episodes like New York, I Love You and the Thanksgiving episode saved the show from growing a little bit too stale. Until things pick up with the main story in episode 9 and 10, there were definitely times where I found the "Dev and his quest for romance" storylines tedious and boring. Relatable, but boring. Focusing on some of the other characters was a smart move. I especially loved the Asian dad and his dual-girlfriend dilemma (Coco!).
Good season overall. Francesca is cute as fuck, but I'm still kinda bummed about the cute black girl in episode 1.
romanticized emotional and, then later, physical cheating. Doing a search for "cheat" in the last couple pages of this thread, even, and only one other post comes up... I guess most people aren't bothered by it? She was definitely #teamPino during those last two episodes and couldn't condone Dev and Francesca's canoodling and increasing flirtation with each other,
