#what i cant handle is condescending shows especially when that show is poorly written

I'm gonna rate the couples in Playboyy by how enjoyable they are.

Disclaimer: I haven't seen episode 11 yet (I have a headache and I'm not trying to make it worse) so this is my feelings on the couples through episode 10:

Teena and Zouey: 100/10 Best couple on the show. They actually have development and their story line makes sense.

First and Soong: 10/10 Horrendously toxic. I love it so much. Again, I can follow their story line even if I hate what's happening to First with the therapy. I want them to be happy and away from First's dad.

Jump and Porsche: -1654681316546846131/10 They suck. They make no sense and honestly the show would be better if they weren't in it.

Aob and Puen: 0/10 I feel nothing for them. I honestly forget they're there half the time. I can never remember either of their names. When someone mentions them I go "who?"

Captain and Keen: 3/10 Captain stop filming people without their consent challenge. But at least I can follow their story and I can weirdly see how they would fall for each other. But I'm mostly neutral here.

Phop and Nuth: 5/10 Stop using these two as nothing more than vehicles to impart the Message of the Week. They could be so cute and actually show us the message instead of having some weird poorly written screenplay moment of them just talking and being so on-the-nose it hurts. Also the message never corresponds to the actual message the rest of the show is giving us that week. They deserve better and so does the audience. (It super kills me because I always agree with the message it's just so poorly timed and poorly told that it entirely ruins this couple and takes away from each character's agency)

Nont and Prom: 3/10 Sure? They have some plot with Nant which should have played a larger role in the overarching story but I guess not. I wish we saw more of Prom being conflicted about his feelings for the two twins. One dream about it and then him casually mentioning it isn't gonna do it.

So basically Playboyy stretched itself so thin with having too many characters, too many couples, and not enough time and now the entire show suffers for it. Imagine if the show actually cared about the message it was trying to impart instead of caring about being The Show to impart the message.
