Ill be honest; I pretty much forgot thatLove Lifeexisted until thisnew season rolled around.

That all changes at Darbys wedding, where Marcus meets Mia (the wonderful Jessica Williams).
(This sci-fi thing set in this alternate universe where Haiti was never colonized, he says.)
But even their small talk has a flirtatious tone to it.
Let the dread start now.
Im not dumb; I know what refined is code for, he says.
Is his life toomonotonous?
Hes so smart and, like, poised, she explains.
He unifies people, you know?
He never gets angry; he always keeps his cool.
Its supposed to be complimentary, but to Marcus, the comparison speaks to how horrifyingly dull hes become.
Hes so concerned with how he appears that he takes the most destructive path to reinvigorate his life.
I guess deep down I was always afraid of fucking it up with them, he confesses.

she asks, fully aware of everything that question is loaded with.
Its time to patch things up with Emily, but its too late.
I dont think she understands me, she reads aloud.
You understand me better than my own wife.
So imagine my delight when you could actually see Marcuss previous texts with Mia!
(Evidently, they text each other far more often than what were privy to.)
The fun thing about the scope of this show is that you get to see some 2010s nostalgia.
