“I wanted to like it but it’s hard to get around how horrible these characters would be if they really covered a murder case like this…. In real life they would be deeply insensitive and unethical as investigators with how they absolutely make light of people’s alleged murders. Also not a fan of humanizing billionaires like they can exist without exploitation of the working class, which they absolutely can’t. Andy should be paying the crew more but instead he funds cutesy things like moon mines as if that’s not a feature of a dystopian society that that level of luxury exists alongside homelessness. Not to mention the glossing over of the death of a homeless teen and mutilating his body like he didn’t matter to anyone because he was homeless. They just said “oh I’m such a bad person maybe” and moved on completely. All this and Andy being presented as a lovable character and all the cop loving weirdness made the whole show very unrelatable. I know it’s supposed to be a comedy but god it’s so neoliberal that it’s just grating in the end.”
