needing you is apparently the deepest part of me

see the thing is right. I like o'shon! I think he's a fun character and he has the potential to have a layered and interesting story arc. but what we've seen of his relationship with ava so far has been... underwhelming. in general, abbott does a great job utilizing common sitcom beats & tropes while adding its own spin to them to keep it fresh, but ava's relationship with o'shon feels like a very generic cookie cutter romance. like yeah, he's her opposite in every way! he's serious and down to earth and not very materialistic which is a good contrast to ava's personality but there's no real intensity to their relationship. all of ava's character development has come from her interactions with other characters and all we've seen her get from her relationship with o'shon is don't be a dick when things don't meet your expectations? don't be mean to people making less money than you? it's more about watching two attractive people stand next to each other than watching a character find romance somewhere unexpected and grow as a person.
