Lenore seems like the most confident and outgoing person, but on the inside she's terrified of not being good enough for her perfect family. The romance is sweet and the parents are embarrassing, but the conversations about figuring out your life and settling really struck a chord. Lenore's perfectionist tendencies are so relatable, and so is Alex's pragmatism, and Wally's secrecy. I've seen all these responses to being the children of exceptional black parents, or even the first generation to graduate from college, and I honestly wish I could see this crew in 5 or 10 years.
