What I’m Watching: Home Economics

Home Economics: Season 2, Episode 2 “Chorizo with Mojo Verde and Chicharrón, $45” (B)

If there’s someone who could never possibly relate to Sarah and her feminist ideals, it’s Connor, and the fact that he wanted to encroach on that treasured part of her life was not something that sat well with her at all. I enjoyed him crashing her date and being upset that he missed the lady on fire in the lesbian period drama that didn’t quite deliver – I’d recommend watching either “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” or this funny SNL sketch. Lindsay being interested in him in the first place was a bit of a stretch, but I guess she thought that she could change him. Impressing with his answer during the book club that he crashed was the last straw for Sarah, and Denise wasn’t happy at all that he took the points she wanted to share, which she did manage to fire off right before Sarah got asked to leave and she had no choice but to go with her. Connor was, of course, trying way too hard, and so the relationship was never going to work out with Lindsay. The other major romance that got a spotlight was Tom’s new gig that he only took on reluctantly but found far more appealing when Sofia was extremely complimentary about everything about him. Marina being initially into her much more than Tom and then going too far to insult Tom was entertaining, and, as usual, along with Denise, she tends to be the best most fun part of this show.
