too good at what it does, so it will be cancelled


The show is so uncomfortable to watch. I can't see it developing a big enough audience to succeed.

Underwhelming thus far.

To the OP, "Too good at what it does, so it will be cancelled."
I totally agree with you. This show is good at what it does. And, it is uncomfortable to watch. Here is a show that is satirizing the virtual signaling PC warriors of the world done by a Hollywood crew. I love it. But, it is hard to watch because no one is good enough; ever. Of course the couple condescend to everyone without realizing what vacuous people they are. I feel sad for this pretentious couple. They are never going to be happy. I mean I can feel their pain. I enjoyed the part played by Dean Cain. Mr. Cain an unapologetic conservative, plays a character that Whitney does not like. Why? Because he has a "Police" flag on his truck. She makes assumptions immediately and does not even want to touch him. Of course, upon inspection, when he does not fit into her preconceived narrative she is dyspeptic all the more. She lives in a state of anger.

PS There was a show called, "The Comeback." It was about a revamp of a popular TV show with a very popular star. The star played by the great Lisa Kudrow, has been experiencing a down period of her carrier. The show, at first, is very welcomed by the character played by Ms. Kudrow. But as the show progresses, Ms. Kudroew's character becomes marginalized and even ridiculed. It was very well done and hard to watch.
