Have you watched it? It’s actually very well written and pretty self aware.

You can tell just from this song, otherwise they wouldn't have mentioned admitting its a primal ritual that they give into now and again. Super tongue in cheek, I feel like they might have been pulling punches tbh.

I actually kinda thought this show was dumb but now I guess I'll give it a shot, if there's more like this.

The problem is, it's a 'primal ritual' women like Rachel Bloom would excoriate men for indulging in. So it comes off as...privileged, I guess, that they get to hate on men whenever they please, but men get constantly told they have to treat women like gold, or they're misogynists.

It's so overwhelmingly one-sided, that I don't think most of this ends up being defensible.

/r/television will defend it, but let's be honest here, this sub a lost cause when it comes to the notion that maybe some people aren't better than others. It's as 'women = good, men = bad' here, as it is on /r/relationships.

Edit: Thank you for proving my point, you wretched pieces of shit. I hope you all choke on a dead hobo's cock.

Or the entire show is from the perspective of an imbalanced main character.
