Is this show worth watching ? I’m a religiously devout football supporter/watcher and have had it recommended to me often but it’s always looked… kinda stupid ? I guess scenes like that is the sorta writing I’m concerned about lol
It’s funny at times, but your time is probably spent better elsewhere. The show seems to go to great lengths to humanize rich people. No one faces non-interpersonal problems because they’re all too rich. In other words it’s bourgeois propaganda. The only person who is unequivocally bad is some African billionaire who acts like a spoiled child, but luckily the billionaire protagonist gives a rousing speech reminding a bunch of rich old white guys that they like football and not him. They sort of try to touch politics, but the extent to that goes is “don’t mess with fascists online or they’ll send their goons on your petty booj ass.” The problem with the person someone is newly dating throwing money at them is not that children are starving and that money should go to something that actually matters (you can’t become a billionaire ethically), it’s because it will make your relationship artificial. The show is needlessly long with too many plot points. I could go on in my rant, but I think I’ve made my point.
Oh so that's why my family likes it and keeps recommending it
