i promise this asshole gets more tolerable plus it’s worth it to see erica and gail kiss and be cute
I think after S1 the writers and Will basically went “this… is really not gonna work in the long term” and over the course of S2 Tandy slowly went from Villain to Annoying Uncle in the eyes of all the other, non-Carol characters. He was such a massive dick before it was a total relief. Now he’s like a totally different person.
(Incidentally, all throughout the second series and beyond Tandy really reads as bisexual, to me at least. Towards the end of that series [a spoiler] shows up and he makes a minor deal of how Tandy might’ve once had a crush on a dude, which embarrasses him. But I don’t think they’ll ever really go there, alas.)
