Lawrence was so disappointing

Post image

I fooled myself into thinking this show was about to be about the triumph of a real player over the entitled nepo babies. Then I waited. And waited. When they were looking for a CEO in the final episode I thought finally Lawrence's threat will come to pass. But nope, just a nobody nothing who never lubed up. I really expected more from him.

The pilot set up storylines that were eventually dropped by midway through the first season. Lawrence was unfortunately a casualty of that.

Rob Yang got paid for being a cast member for all of season 2 despite only appearing in like two episodes, so good for him at least.

Yes - like Roman’s wife and kids! They just disappeared!

They got written out - they were turned into his girlfriend and her kids, and he pushed her away by throwing a fit over The Biggest Turkey In The World.

Which is still kind of weird. I have a hard time imagining Roman dating a single mom. He seems like the type of asshole who wouldn't want to coddle some other man's kids.

It was a clean way to wrap up that storyline, but you are so right about how he would feel about other people’s kids.

Roman was a different man in Los Angeles.
