This is a review of both parts 1 and 2 as I cannot tell where I left off and started. It's all one to me.
I initially thought Steven and the family were over-the-top reacting to Steven's brother getting divorced. I mean that happens all the time, right? Alex wants to reject the idea because it seems impossible to him since Rob is a Republican. Lol.
However, upon seeing the second part, I think it does make sense for Steven, Elyse and the kids to be hurt. Rob and Maureen were married for 25 years with the kids growing up with her as "Aunt Maureen." She is part of the family and a close friend and still their aunt(IMO) despite her and Rob getting divorced. Andy is funny because he is so little and has never met Maureen before and keeps asking who is his Aunt Maureen. Lol.
Rob appears to be having a midlife crisis. Going out dancing and dating younger women. But it struck me as interesting when Rob said he has never lived on his own. He did everything his parents wanted. By the book, so to speak. He was never able to be true to himself about the things he loved and wanted to do. He did what his parents wanted him to do. I do fault the guy, however, for the way he ended his marriage, by simply walking away and not addressing his responsibilities, especially to Maureen and his children.
My favorite line which made me laugh out loud was when Steven said he could not go out with Rob and his date because he was making tapioca. Lol. I had forgotten how square and funny he was. I just started doing a rewatch on Pluto TV, watching the channel. So I'm all out of order. Anyway, I haven't even heard of tapioca since the 80s myself. We used to eat it all the time in my family. This show really takes you back in time. 8/10.
