Seriously it’s bad. Like I get the point is the characters are shitheads but still…
Season 1 is rough.
Between that episode and the one about how Dee is dating a potentially handicapped dude, it’s just edge for the sake of edge.
Show gets a million times better in Season 2 when Devito joins
i like the show but i genuinely don’t think i could rewatch the first season today. iasip is always kind of edgy, but they didn’t even have a point to try to make at the start. no danny devito either.
you can skip season 1
takes a little while to find it’s feet(and its DeVito)
Yeah, great show overall, but that episode and a few of the subsequent episodes with the trans character (played by a cis woman, of course), and nearly unwatchable for the reasons other people mention on the comments.
I can only guess that in their minds they were setting up Mac’s storyline, but it’s extremely transphobic and not cool. They have since made apologies about that episode on particular, and the show is much better in more recent seasons.
They weren’t setting anything up. It was 2006. Those were normal jokes then.
It honestly gets a lot better. It also gets a lot more sensitive to those issues, one character does end up not being straight.
