Doesn't hold up well

bowieec

The series starts off so promising with a fun premise and interesting characters. But by about halfway through the first season, practically every single episode has gay panic and a smattering of homophobic slurs and jokes. The other characters either laugh it off or act completely nonplussed. I made it through a season and a half and had to stop watching because I was so disgusted by how laissez faire
the characters were in their homophobia. Most of the writing and storylines are also sexist and misogynistic. Season 2 gets especially bad with calling someone a lesbian or the slang slur term as an insult to the person's character over and over throughout the season. It's startlingly tone deaf and out of date.

score 3/10
