  1. I hope this show returns. I enjoyed both seasons. It was refreshing to see relatively normal but interesting people without the stereotypical drama. I think the producers and editors could do a better job of crafting and presenting the episodes and story-lines though. And since "Married" is in the show title it would be nice to see the spouses more - even if just once to introduce. Speaking of spouses here are their names: Dr. Gadson Johnson (Jazmin Johnson) Dr. Hobart Leung (Dr. Kendra Segura) Dr. Robert Drummond (Shanique Drummond) Dr. Colin Dias (Lia Dias) Mack Major (Dr. Britten Cole) Phil Johnson (Dr. Imani Walker) Dr. Erin Reid (Dr. Noelle Reid) Dr. Larry Blankinship (Asha Kamali-Blankinship) Also like the diversity in terms of: ... diaspora (Caribbean) ... Imani Walker - Jamaican-American Shanique Drummond - Jamaican-American Kendra Segura - Vietnamese/Afro-Cuban-American ... multi-racial background ... Kendra Segura - Vietnamese/Afro-Cuban-American Jazmin Johnson - Persian/African-American Britten Cole - White/African-American ... inter-racial marriage ... Colin Dias - Egyptian-American Hobart Leung - Asian/Canadian-American

  3. It was more that they've shown many of the kids making racial comments to each other, and as youth tend to do they justify their own negative behavior with a he/she/they started it defense. In an earlier episode Mateo tells an African-American guy to stop talking to Evy and to "stick to his own kind". Perhaps in Mateo's mind he's fighting back, but I think the show is showing how people are projecting stereotypes, frustration, etc. onto each other. Plus, one can be defensive and racist at the same time. The point that the principal was making in telling Mateo "fine, since you want to do this your way..." is that even if he felt something needed to be done about racial bullying then there are better ways to respond than bullying back with greater force - otherwise you'll end up in a vicious cycle. Like someone mentioned earlier, I think these B/C-stories at Marshall High are meant to be commentary on class, and to juxtapose the concerns and conflicts in an environment of limited resources and relative anxiety to one of more abundant resources and relative order or calm.
  4. That Chante pile on did no favors for the reputations of Chrisette, Lil Mo, and Leele. I'm glad Chante maintained her composure
