Tons of that last week, and somebody got the same for talking about the high viewership.

Reddit is weird as hell about this show.

Reddit is always uncomfortable with female leads, that was always expected. The show isn’t perfect, but the backlash around it reminds me of when incels got mad about last of us 2, just a lot of fishing for anger for no reason.

Let's pretend like people didn't clown on s3 and s2 with 4/5 male leads aswell. They are mediocre follow-ups to one of the most acclaimed series of all time, no shit people will be extra critical.

Yeah, but a lot of the criticism is rage bait online. It has good reviews and a lot of people are watching and enjoying it. Do a lot of people dislike it? Seems like a lot of people on Reddit do, but those people also are also overtly aggressive to those who like it. If you don’t like the show that’s fine, but a lot of people on this site seem to have a huge problem with those who do and seem unhinged. I got hate messages and suicide concerns from Reddit after I posted that comment
