Season 5 too Political
29 October 2020
I absolutely love this show. I love the characters. I love the storyline. I love everything about it. However- After a long wait for season 5 I'm exactly 9 minutes in and already disappointed. We deal with politics of some sort everyday. Whether it be in our lives, online, the news. It's all around us. COVID-19 as important as it is I don't want to see it or hear about it during tv time. If I did I'd tune in to the news. And 9 minutes in now we're on to a black man death and riots. I sympathize but again why during entertainment time? Tv time should be your sacred place where you can unwind and be entertained and not think about all the injustices of the world. The world has gone to hell in a hand basket. So give us one outlet where everything is ok. Covid and black injustice are two horrible things. But I want a few minutes a day to not think about it. It's not that I don't care or think they aren't important. But this show isn't the news nor is a documentary so if I wanted to be depressed by these things that's what I'd watch.
