Zahid and Chuck were funny and likable supporting characters
Show isn't really good at representing autism according to the autism community
someone said “In my opinion it makes the same mistake every show like this makes, which is it only shows the very extreme versions of autism and nothing but that. Even with the autistic group therapy, there’s no variation in their placement on the spectrum. “
There are already so much shows ab a white boy with autism trying to find romance, when most autistic people are POC and their biggest problem isn’t romance
A lot of things Sam does because of autism is used as a punchline
You rarely get to see Sam’s side of things when it’s affecting him. His autism? Focuses on Casey’s need for more attention. His dad abandoning him because of his autism? The fact that only Sam and his mom know, so he has to process it all by himself? Casey is mad at her dad and Sam is forgotten about. The ladder was only briefly fixed during season 4.
Sam’s character doesn’t show much personality. Most of it is just his autism.
It feels unrealistic that the parents are fine after cheating
I also did not want to see the mom getting her back blown out. She also feels like an irredeemable character. And, her reaction to being kicked out of her house was to cut her bangs???
Izzy and Casey’s relationship didn’t progress/ didn’t go anywhere/ dynamic never evolves in season 4
They pretend it does by making them have stupid fights and rush resolving the conflict
The Izzy and Casey relationship seem unstable
justified Casey cheating by saying that it was her gay awakening (her boyfriend was too good for her).
There’s no chemistry between Izzy and Casey. Casey had more chemistry with the graffiti girl.
They killed off Chuck for no reason and it did nothing. Everyone forgot about it. Chuck was one of the good characters that brought humor.
The Dad said his legacy was sourdough bread when he was an ambulance driver. He just made bread for one scene and now he’s known for it. They treated Chuck so trivially.
The dad was like his best friend but he got over it when he ate bread. Did he even go to his funeral or did he just eat bread?
I thought Paige was funny at first, like when she killed the penguin, but now she feels like the butt of the joke. For example, the dorm rat, the potato, and etc.
Cinematography look like stock images during season 4
