The social critiques in this show are really ham-fisted and lazy, and it's somehow even more noticeable in season 6. It detracts from the character study which is really what the show is popular for.

I just don't understand how writers can on one hand create really intriguing depictions of characters being "human", yet they can't seem to find anything intelligent or original to say about the world we live in.

I mean Diane basically became a stoic nerdy-woke archetype, and to some extent she's always been like that, but it's just cringe-worthy now. I really can't believe some of the lines of dialogue in this show.

"They're not evil, just capitalists." "wHaTs ThE dIfFeReNcE!"

Like, is that funny? Is that insightful? Does that add anything to anything? Did they think they were being clever?

And then just to plop a schlong on the audiences face with this whole "WOMEN SUPERHEROES CANT BE PRAISED BECAUSE WOMEN NEVER GET PRAISED AND LITERALLY NOBODY EVER GIVES WOMEN CREDIT FOR ANYTHING.....OH AND THE GAY!"

I just picture a bunch of bored west-coast interns taking their tweets and jamming them into an otherwise insightful show about loneliness and depression. It reeks of ego to blatantly shove your 3am thoughts into an otherwise well put together story.
