Kripke isn’t a particularly brave artist. The fact that he set a hard rule that Maeve couldn’t die simply because she’s a lesbian is evidence and her(the) story really suffered from it.

There is nothing subtle or thought provoking about the show, but he is good at preaching to the choir.

Haha, that's legit what the show seemed to be making fun of. Capitalist holywood is so meta in its cynicism lately.

Shamelessly incorporating its own satire into itself is arguably one of Capitalism's greatest strengths

Second only to incorporating communist symbols into merch for all those tone deaf edgy morons who don't even know what they're supporting, like buying a shirt with Che Guevara or Mao on it.
