He's Expecting

After finishing the first episode on my friend's TV, I started to question the meaning of my existence, and the reason why I wasted 50 precious minutes on this. The greatest part is that it successfully destroyed my good old memories of Japanese dramas. It turns out that the Japanese people will also make such...a thing.

A non-tolerable mistake.

They try and put a fun spin to it but it's just so bad and hard to watch. 1 star was being courteous. It's also hard to get rid of the political aspect of the show...no matter what your view the constant pushing of ideologies into shows make them even harder to watch.

I can bet you that the majority of the 1 star reviews are people who only read the "social inequities" in the blurb and immediately went into a blind rage, because feminism = bad.

When I saw the trailer I thought the idea was absurdly funny at first, but as I began watching it I was pleasantly surprised by the progressive commentary on gender roles in society and how when we say we have progressed as a society, they highlighted how much bigotry there still is in casual conversation and in private.

One thing I really liked about the main character is he was already a relatively open-minded guy from the start, he didn't have to "learn to respect women" by being pregnant, he already was a pretty alright guy and that was refreshing to see. He didn't have to go walk in women's shoes to start to understand the societal problems women face and I thought that was neat.

It's a shame this got so hate-bombed by people who (most of them even admit) haven't watched it. I started watching it because I wanted to see where they'd take the topic and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The commentary can be very on-the-nose at times but i found it to be surprisingly interesting to see, especially coming from a country where same-sex marriage isn't legal yet!

This has to be one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. It's trash series. It's weird and you don't get any explanation to things. Acting isn't great either.

Pay no attention to the negative reviews that call this woke garbage. Don't get me wrong, it is woke garbage, but I actually watched this. Most of the other reviewers have not. In summary, this was a very bad painfully unfunny series. Please do yourself a favor and skip this show.
