This is “Will & Grace” in-your-face sitcom gay, where the slang, the (girls) locker room talk, even the “I’ll finally learn to to insert a tampon without the end sticking out” banter passes “frank” on its way to “coarse.” That’s pretty much the tone of “Crush,” something that casting Mullally tips off. Mom’s raised Paige in a “sex positive house,” and as Dillon’s on a first name basis with his pal’s mother, their exchanges are bitchy-witty and sit-commie unreal in the extreme.
Mom is flushed and responsive to Paige’s authoritarian track coach’s ( Aasif Mandvi’s) advances. “I guess the ‘promiscuous gene’ skips a generation,” Dillon quips.
Gabriella has a sportier, more introverted and more butch sister, AJ ( Auli’i Cravalho).
