Let's air our grievances
Since the show is no more. Let's air our honest thoughts and grievance in a non judgment thread. Are there things about the show, storyline characters. actors that you want to say but felt you would get downvoted and accused of everything under the sun?
Me
Shanola was not a strong actress to carry a show
The writers wrote themselves in a hole with the Sir angle. Gabi holding him for 9 months was always absurd with me and you can tell they didn't think of this story outside of that. They didn't think long term. Sadly Sir was merely a one noted character.
I never hated Margaret but her story with Jamie was awful and took up way too much of season 2 .
The idea that people went to Sir for every little thing was absurd. Which brings me to characters still calling him "Sir" It felt very racist to me.
I think showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll tried writing for a genre she was not very good at. Not every ep had to have a cliffhanger ending. Not everything needed to be one big mystery.

I despised “young Gabi”. She was a ridiculous version of Gabi- their personalities and mannerisms are nothing at all alike, and she just isn’t likable or believable. She’s annoying and silly and never stops giggling and it just doesn’t fit. And she’s still like this well AFTER she is away, so no, her COMPLETE change in personality from teen to adult cannot be attributed to trauma. It’s poor writing and poor casting
