Netflix’s new series, Love, from creators Judd Apatow, Lesley Arfin, Paul Rust, begins with familiar rom-com harmlessness. 30s who gus love annoying lives and goes shopping with his mother. In fact, when a troubled Mickey — who has her own addiction problems — comes into Gus’ orbit and ends up falling for him because he’s sweet and non-threatening and not just another one of her asshole boyfriends, it feels like another Apatowian 40-Year-Old virgin fantasy, an awkward nerdy guy who gets the hot woman because he’s not like those other guys.

You’re fake nice, which is worse than being mean. Love is not The 40-Year Old Virgin. It’s not even another iteration of Can’t Buy Me Love, where the hot woman looks past the nerdy guy’s looks and falls in love with his personality, because underneath Gus’ 90’s Seth Green hair, dorky glasses, and awkward, nice-guy exterior is the heart of a manipulative, narcissistic asshole. Gus is worse than the douche-bros and good-looking cads, because at least they are transparent.

Gus presents himself as something he’s not, and he uses his non-threatening looks and his awkward nice-guy shtick to exploit lonely women searching for love and steady, drama-free relationships. That’s not to say that Love is not a worthy series. But, when you look like Mickey and a guy who looks like Gus rejects you, it only hastens the downward spiral. There’s a part of Gus that knows that, that exploits that, that takes advantage of those vulnerabilities. It’s messed up, and dysfunctional, and ultimately, Gus and Mickey should stay as far away from each other as possible, because they’re not only lousy for each other, they are lousy to each other, which makes Love a really interesting, subversive entry into the rom-comedy sitcom. It’s not a typical will-they-won’t-they series, and it’s not even the anti-rom com represented by You’re the Worst.

As I posted way back in May of last year Gus is a bad friend and is negative at every turn but i don’t think he need to leave the show, the writer need to make him a true friend to Shawn. I agree his role is does not add to the show and only makes me mad at every turn but it does not have to be this was. I wasn’t going to say this but it came to me back when housediva posted “gus gets a girl”. This thread offends me as an African-American, a gay rights supporter, a Dulé Hill fan, and a lover of the show.

Really tho lol and let’s look at the record. He is a real friend to shawn. I don’t understand why you think he isn’t. He gives shawn money and he has been in business with him for over 7 years. Gus has stayed by shawn this whole time and we can all agree shawn is a little crazy!

Let’s face it in “Truer Lies” Gus almost got them both killed and it’s nothing to do with being black and the gay thing is possible ask my younger brother the gay guy who is like that. Gus does better in “Tuesday the 17th” and trys to pickup the Miley Cyrus look alike, only a little older. But alas he’s shot down in the end. Sad for some, he acts awful around women. I just started watching this show on Netflix, and I thought it was because I was watching several episodes back to back that I found the character of Gus to be extremely annoying.

After reading this, however, and several other sites, I am convinced that the character of Gus really needs a revamp or written off. I get that at first, Gus was supposed to be an unwilling part of Shawn’s adventures, adding moral and reason to the duo. And, in the first season I found his protestations to be quite believable. But I am currently in the midst of season 3 and I really don’t understand why Gus and Shawn are friends: they are complete opposites who I would not believe would be friends even if they worked together, let alone longtime, childhood friends. But this gets to a larger point I have about the show in general. No matter how often Shawn is proven right, Lassie, Shawn’s father, and in many cases even Gus, view Shawn as an incompetent f-up. Gus’s character sways a bit on this point, defending Shawn in one scene to his parents, and then in another telling Shawn that he wrong or in some other way not being supportive.
