corvidoe replied to your post “hghfhhf there ws this new sitcom playing in the background and i was...”

asdda omg... also "v jenji kohan" is such a simple but poignant descriptor too bc... that's literally all of their shows. you just... watch them for inordinate amounts of time and constantly question WHY but. you just. do. and then you are full of regret lmao

right??? like ive never watched weeds but its such A Signature..... kohan isn’t the showrunner for glow but i think shes executive producer and the other day i was rewatching the episode that broke me and i finally noticed that she wrote it and i was like “ohhhhhhhhhh”

#corvidoe #idk if youve watched glow but its the one w the bris #which felt weirdly antisemitic ?? considering it was written by a jewish woman and the gentile lead is played by a jewish woman #maybe im reading too much into it bc of the weird Discourse abt circumcision #but the teenage boy being carried kicking and screaming rlly rubbed me the wrong way #and then there's that cringey scene where ruth's like 'what if jewish stereotypes were my wrestling persona'#altho honestly all the 'racial stereotype as wrestling persona' scenes are rough as hell to watch #like you get the sense that they know this is a thing they should be addressing and discussing but they dont seem equipped #so you get jenny going from 'im angry at sam for making me play a bunch of racist asian stereotypes'#(which is kinda more bash's fault but fair enough)#to squealing and cheering w the rest of the girls for him to get into the pool IN LESS THAN A MINUTE #like she just pings from emotion to emotion w no rhyme or reason #no explanation for why she or arthy would agree to do this when it obviously makes them uncomfortable #they SORT of talk abt it w cherry and tammé but BARELY #we get more emotional nuance and insight into fucking MARK than we do them #i HATE it but also ive watched it like three times?????#fuckin jenji kohan and her hot mess garbage shows #ive avoided watching the latest season of oitnb but this one suckered me in before i knew she was involved
