I know it's a TV show and this is a movie comm, but I just finished the show and wanted to get some chapo opinions on it. It's got some good bits and I overall enjoyed it. Just feels like it started off pretty strong with Johnny having to start working and then trying to get on unemployment to feed his family. Over time it just seems to give up on that aspect and makes all the characters comfortable petite bourgeoisie that somehow just have infinite money. Then they do the whole venture capitalist bit, but in like a "gentrification is good" way and reveal that the server who everyone treats like shit is actually a secret millionaire that could have solved all the towns financial problems but didn't?

I liked some of the portrayals of sexuality and the complexity of relationships, but the show falls flat when it comes to any sort of social critique of capitalism, which is odd because the setup seems to be exactly that.

It's an enjoyable show to just turn your brain off and watch. Kinda like a less obnoxious rom com with some of the relationship plots. The politics are liberal as fuck, but that's kinda to be expected. It's a slightly above average sit com at best. It absolutely suffers from the "well that happened" trope. Especially after season one when they realized there isn't actually upward mobility for poor people and the only way to have them advance was a miracle $40k that comes out of nowhere and just kinda becomes an infinite money pot for the rest of the show.
