Are people actually watching this show?

Seems it gives minorities a bad name. Am I seeing it wrong?

1. Sorry, I thought this post was about the stupid Governor of Texas

2. Not my favorite show, but anytime I've seen it, they seemed to treat their characters OK. YMMV.

3. I haven't watched it, but I heard it was pretty good

Isn't it?

4. Very good show

Characters are fun. I've never heard anyone say it made minorities look bad. As a black woman and a teacher, I think the show is on point.

5. I like it and I don't think it makes minorities look bad

The principal does not look qualified and self centered but one of the schools I substitute at has a worst principal who is a white, self centered and has caused morale to go low.

6. Ditto to like the show very much......

Never got the impression it was giving Blacks a bad name.

7. Yes. You are wrong.

I just watched the second episode and totally disagree with you.

8. How does it give minorities a bad name?

My husband and I love the show and have watched from the beginning. So, how do you think this show is giving minorities (which ones BTW) a bad name?

9. Not a fan, because I don't like shows in which the characters talk to the viewers instead of to each other

It is as if the showrunners think everything has to be explained.
Whatever, it irritates me.

Parks and Recreation started out with that in a huge way. My daughter had told me I would like it, and I told her why I didn't. She told me to just stick with it and somewhere in the second season we were actually watching the story

10. They only do that a couple times per show.

But I agree, it is annoying.
