That’s nice, but I’d recommend focusing on having quality writing and a compelling storyline first: Maybe spend more time with your hands occupied on a keyboard working instead of already pointing fingers at the people they’re going to blame beforehand for its inevitable failure to not get picked up for a full season.

You cannot rely solely on race/gender swapping gimmicks to get eyeballs on your content. While having great writing isn’t a guarantee of success (many great shows have failed), at least the show will be respected instead of forgotten.

how are you behaving any better? are you judging them based on your bias? how do you know their writing is not already fine, or the storyline is not already compelling? who is pointing what fingers?

Having a noted history, especially the past several years, of producing complete L’s gives me more than enough justification. They have to build that trust back up if they want to pull more people in.

Whose “they”? This shows creator? Why do they need “to earn trust back”?

Are you judging them based on how they look, without taking their individual body of work into account? Don’t you see the irony, and also how problematic that is

Start reading the industry rags, pal. A recession more or less is coming down the pipeline, and everybody is going to get squeezed. Animation, due to how long it takes to produce, was only the tip of the iceberg.

It‘s called showBUSINESS for a reason, and the incredibly funny thing is: For how much you’re defending this program, I highly doubt you’re planning on even watching it.

So what makes you think these creators will fail, and need to already “earn trust back”? Why? Because of who they are?

That’s kinda problematic bud

Friend, there is an unbelievable amount of content out there: From networks, streaming services, YouTube, podcasts, books, music, etc. This crappy random network series is not a hill you need to die on.

And as for "problematic"? Inflation, disease, poverty, censorship, rising fascism: Those are examples of problems. Arguing with someone on the internet for their opinion on a television series is the definition of privileged, as I fully acknowledge from my end.
