Who didn't like it?

People with bad taste like this yes that is correct.

This show is a teen drama even the adults are stupid.

They were almost openly mocking 'wokeness' in the beginning, but then they started slipping more and more towards it. What's this black token character we're supposed to sympathize with, although he's a bully and turns out to be amazing at Karate even without much training..?

I am glad they show black people as evil sometimes, as the prison scenes show as well, but they kinda stopped mocking the 'woke PC culture' and started conforming towards it more and more. They always have to have black token characters (why is it never an Eskimo or Australian Aboriginal (Aborigine?)), women almost never take a punch or kick from a man, and even if they do, the woman always wins the fight - heck, even the fat 'nerdy' black woman, although completely untrained, kicked Miguel's more trained buttockses immediately after Miguel kicked her -once-. Tori can kick a much bigger, muscular man's buttockses with ease, and white, heterosexual man's sexuality is, of course, vilified at every turn. Unless he wants to marry someone and reproduce, then it's good.

When you watch this show more carefully, you start seeing the political correctness seeping in, while the show tries to superficially still be an 'evil donkey' when it comes to that stuff. A rich white male just HAS to scoff at 'equal pay' (although it's been unlawful to have unequal pay based on gender for decades - DECADES!), and so on. The carwash-scene still grinds my gears - why would a MAN be washing the cars anyway, and why would anyone be so clueless as to NOT KNOW it's exactly the female dirty pillows that rake in the money? How does this show expect us to believe ANY character would be that stupid? NO ONE PAYS A FAT MALE 20 BUCKS TO SEE THEIR DISGUSTING MANBOOBS!

But gender, of course, is a social construction, so what can you do..

When you

"The teen drama and cheesy acting was too over the top. But, plenty of people really like it, so I'm happy for them. "

I could live with that, if the story was good, character growth actually happened, the story actually WENT somewhere, but this show has been running in place for years, and the last good stuff happened in season three.

Of course this forces the viewer to watch everything with a more critical eye, when the redeeming qualities diminish. The teen drama was always annoying, but what they did in seasons 4 and 5, is just too much.

This should've always been Johnny and Daniel's story, but they kept adding characters and teen drama and took us away from the 'juicy parts' too much, so it eventually became boring, and even the Daniel/Johnny-scenes just become gimmicks, reminders, useless nostalgia and pointers to the movies and such.

It's ridiculous that Daniel shows Johnny the 'paint the fence'-stuff, when that was CLEARLY meant for a clueless beginner as a shortcut to installing some kind of muscle memory. Johnny has already so much muscle memory, he could have started from the movements themselves. It makes no sense..
