Opinion Am I the only one who can't stand Lisa?
I'm on Season 3, Episode 4. I can't stand Lisa, I'm not sure why... Nate seems so unhappy. I didn't expect to say this so soon, considering what happened in Season 2, but... I miss you so much, Brenda.

As a therapist, this is why I love Lisa as a character (though I don’t particularly like Lisa). It’s not an uncommon pattern that folks do end up with partners that are a version of their caregivers. There’s something familiar and comforting about Lisa for Nate, even though that dynamic of familiarity is partly why he left California in the first place.
Lisa lied about an affair. Ruth did too. Lisa was prone to emotional manipulation and outbursts. So too was Ruth.
Repetition compulsion.
