Things that should drive the story forward, go nowhere, or with very little payoff.

Something like Issa wrecking her car...that's big, but it has no impact on the story besides it opens up a useless conversation between her and Daniel that night. It gets her on a bus later to reach her revelation about We Got Ya'll, but to me that seems kind of lazy.

I'd have the same criticism of a show with a non-black cast. Hopefully all of this is leading to something.
