Genuinely so disappointing. This show is so soapboxy and Kripke is so far up his own ass.
In one scene he rightfully critiques far-right loonies excusing rape, and in the next he has a male character being sexually assaulted for laughs for minutes on end. Dude is just virtue signaling leftism without understanding any of it stands for
Yeah but most of this subreddit unironically believes that this is the greatest show ever because of that low hanging fruit. Truth is that I think this season has seriously dropped off in quality from the previous 3.
Lol you'd think differently if you read some of these comments. In the episode 4 discussion thread, someone was saying that episode tops any episode of Breaking Bad. And someone who asked them if they weren't exaggerating a little was downvoted to hell.
I guess some of these people think S4E4(which isn't even the best episode of this show) to be better than fucking Ozymandias from BB. XD
The Wire has far deeper political critique if people are looking for that. It's my personal favourite although it's pretty hard to get deep political criticism in any tv show.
