I usually hate when TV episodes try to force a lesson down your throat (and this show does that in every single episode), but I was surprisingly unbothered by it because of how good the show actually is.
I hope this gets renewed, Id really like to see a second season.
I could stand because of that same reason I feel like I'm getting brain washed on policial corretness yet did didn't bother to get on Cuban actor for show like those Islands the are all the same. Plus all the do is criticize Cubans for being sexist and mysogenist. And of course brainwash couldn't be completed without the most annoying stereotypical coming out the closet. Really I don't think 90s or 80s show were this bad. Only communist Cuba sitcoms were this horrendously brain washing.
shareWhat brainwashing?? It's just trying too hard.
shareIt definitely has a message, but I found it refreshing, even if heavy-handed. As an LGBT person, I really appreciated the way they handled the coming out story. I also thought having a feminist pov made a lot of sense considering the characters at the center of this show. I'm all about supporting any agenda that pushes strong women and inclusiveness.
shareI agree with you OP. That is exactly how I feel generally and how I feel about this show.

I also criticized it early on for its awkward agenda pushing but the writing gets much more effective in later episodes and by the end of the season I thought the preachiness was toned down while still delivering the same message more organically through the story and acting instead of loaded dialogue.
