Al in season 2


I was disappointed in how the Al storyline ended this season, he's a smart, manipulative man who likes control and had a strong case against Robin for excessive use of force (we saw it play out in season 1 but as a 'he said she said', he was unarmed and blocking acess to his private home, which she didn't have a right to enter). Season 1 was great at showing how needling and hard to call out sublte sexism is. Season 2 blew past that with blatant over the top displays of sexim. It would have been far more powerful, interesting and challenging for Robin to have had a war of words with Al rather than have him attack her on video.... from a wheelchair.... so confused by this choice. It honestly would have been better to have dropped that side story than have it play out the way it did.
