Sometimes the Merlin sets seem stolen from the high school drama department, but I'm just enjoying a show that doesn't matter, and I kind of like watching it when the world isn't, so I don't feel like we've fallen behind (except for how we're 11 years behind).
We tend to fall asleep during it, and have watched some out of order, because our older son was watching it and got a little ahead. He moved out yesterday though (which I just mention, in case anyone wants to join me in feeling old), so we're on our own schedule now.
I don't think so, and I'm pretty attuned to cringeworthy stuff. I think it's really really good.
When I heard Bryant talk about it, it didn't seem it would be, but I'd covered enough of it before the premiere that I was worried about
Annie's boss being negative about her appearance
and generally about comments about her weight.

I mean, that part is pretty shitty, but it's so fucking real. What I love about it is seeing her deal with the shit that happens in my life all the time, and still kick ass at life and be happy despite the fatphobic bullshit.
I'm working my way through The Dragon Prince, although the all-too-contemporary dialog keeps throwing me out of my pleasant enjoyment. At least they're not making snarky jokes about late 20th century culture, but still.

I loved Shrill, and i found Friends too watch from the hall. I am expecting the things that happened ibecause I followed Lindy West,
Yeah, I read Shrill a couple of years ago, plus it's no secret what a fatphobic shithead Dan Savage is, so I expect Annie's boss (based on Dan Savage) to be horrible.
I think the reason that it is not cringeworthy is that there isn't really any humor in humiliation.
