S02.E01: Not Owning It Yet

[Guest]

Quote

Lexi’s father and owner of the SoCal Independent, Duncan Rhodes, comes into the office and forms a bond with Nell, much to his daughter’s dismay.

Air Date: January 7, 2024

Nico Santos as Teddy

I knew Lexi and Edward had some kind of vibe last season. Finally Lexi made her move and he seemed to like it

[possibilities]

I wonder if he's okay with her using him for a hook up. It looks like he is, but I figure if they're going to make conflict out of this situation, that will be where it happens, i.e. one of them will catch feelings and the other won't.

I loved the moment when Duncan paid Leslie a compliment and how shocked she was by that. And they actually had a nice conversation afterwards.

I also liked Nico Santos as the ghost here. It was very refreshing to see him in a role that is not a horrible human being like his stint on Superstore was.

I am so on board with Lexi/Edward, and I hope it develops into something. 

I just don't get a vibe beyond friendship between Nell and Edward, and him and Lexi have a spark. 

Brad Garrett is excellent casting for Lexi's dad/the owner of the paper.

Lexi kind of reminds me of Ava on Abbott Elementary.

I really enjoyed the insult heightening between Lexi and Edward.

I didn't even remember this show existed until it came back on. I know I watched some of the first season because I remember some of the characters, I'm not sure I watched all of it. It's cute. It could perhaps be a tad funnier. There seems to be a strong cross-over with Superstore, casting-wise. Lauren Ash really looks fantastic.

I could totally relate to the dry scones. Who eats those things? It really is like eating a bath bomb.

Scones with tea, though, is an awesome combo. Best eaten sitting down while relaxing, IMO.

This was definitely a good season premiere!

I like the pairing of Lexi/Edward - I hope that sticks, we don't need Nellward. I hope Brad Garrett stays - he's a welcome presence on all shows.

I agree we don’t need Nellward.  For once I’d like to see a male/female relationship where one is not gay. Sometimes, people are just friends!!

You look like you’ve eaten all the lemons .. they seriously play off each other so well it’s hilarious

Also - I like that we kept Cricket & her wine bar. I was worried that she could've been cut between seasons, as Martin Mull's host firmly went away.

One of those foods best eaten fresh out of the oven, otherwise, squirrel food. (Wild birds should not eat bread.)

Those scones were also bizarrely huge. I've never seen any that big. Super dry and super-sized don't go together well.

I chuckled at his challenge to Edward about not being the tallest in the room for a change.

I'm glad this got a second season.  It's a fun little show.  Nothing earth shattering in concept or acting, but just a nice show to watch. 

I love Brad Garrett as Lexi's dad.  Have we seen her mother?  I can't remember if she appeared during the first season. 

I'll be honest here...  I don't know why people are even talking about a Nell/Edward romance.  I don't think there's ever been any hint at it in the show, no reason - other than there is a male character and a female character - to assume these two are destined to be together.  But Lexi & Edward - that had spark from the very first time they met, and by the end of last season I was really hoping they'd go from banter to bed.  I like those two together, simply because it's not what you'd expect from either.

I'm hoping we see Martin Mull at least for a few guest appearances this season.

I like Nell/Edward, so chances are it's going to happen. 😄 I knew Edward & Lexi were going to hook up.
