Ali Wong's introduction was mishandled egregiously, the writers should have known and didn't.
The proof of this is the shittiness of the adult bisexual character, Shannon (Jessi's mom). It's a portrayal of bisexual women as being too confused to be wives and mothers. The season ends with her wanting to move and take Jessi with her because her girlfriend broke up with her and she wants to join the BDSM community? It's not a good reason, and makes it seem like bisexuals are prone to impulsive behavior and care more about themselves than their children. I'm guessing she'll walk back on it and Jessi won't actually end up moving because she's one of the four main characters, but being up her own ass like that really doesn't make Shannon all that sympathetic. I mean, she's not the only source of bad parenting in the show, and she's not even really a bad parent, but she's the only one who's bad because she's going through changes. And she's the only parent who isn't straight. So there you go.
The show is really funny though, and it does not bake its bread being dismissive of sexualities. They will not be doubling down on mistakes. These are obviously complex issues not made any easier by the bi- prefix very unequivocally meaning "two" for a lot longer than the nuanced meaning it has for bisexuality.
I really don't have many complaints about the show. Mainly that it's unclear in the last scene with the Bespectacled World War I Penis whether he was attending his wife's funeral or visiting the grave of his war buddy who was KIA as a sign that he had gotten through that trauma and wouldn't be an alcoholic anymore. Jessi doesn't get enough main character time compared to Nick, Andrew, and Jay. That's about it. Nothing the show has gotten wrong so far can cancel out how funny and truthful and well done Maya Rudolph's dynamic with Jessi Klein is. And that's only a, once again, too-small portion of the show. I like the rest of the cast too, I mean Connie and Jessi just seem fresher to me because I'm a man and so all the male characters are more familiar. And Maya Rudolph is just. that. good., of course.
Sincerely,
