I wanted so badly to like it, but it comes in so heavy-handed with the politics, it's distracting and disappointing. TV shows, especially cartoons, are supposed to be a form of escape. I don't want to feel like I'm reading an activist post on Facebook or an argument on Twitter. I even align with the views of the show, for the most part, but I still hate it all the same.

At one point in the musical episode, the characters were about to break into a new musical number, and I literally thought to myself "please just don't be political, for ONE second". Moments later it's revealed that the song would be about "white guy confidence". My eyes rolled all the way into the back of my head. Stop it... it's not funny. You can be a good person without constantly virtue signaling. Respect others, be kind, and for the love of god, write your cartoons better.

The comedy is forced, often comes off as pandering, frequently feels like the authors socio-political opinions are shoe-horned in and more often than not falls completely flat of anything humorous. The series does kind of hit a decent stride in the last four episodes of the season and honestly the framework is there for a triumphant return to form for the series in season 3, someone just needs to rein in the writers.

Very rough early episodes.

Show mainly focuses on the relationships, but with mostly flat humor. If the first season had me howling or just having a good laugh, here there were mkstly smirks or worse case scenarios sighs at undelivered
Very rough early episodes.

Additonally not the biggest fan of some of the retconns, which can happen to a show, but the issue is that a lot of things from season 1 are ingrained in peoples minds, even if they watched it only in the ladt 2-3 years. Seeing multiple characters get removed, changed personality wise, get showed into the background, It is harder to be invested into the new world that is being created.

Id say episodes 7, 8 and 10 are the closest to the original, but having mostly duds, the show deserves at least one watch, but will probably not be getting the repeat weavings season 1 has to this day.
