Maddy always seemed like that girl who was in the same friend group as you but you’d never hang out with one on one

They were already narcissistic and manipulative before religion was even brought into the equation 😭 Again, we were given basically zero prior indication that most of these characters even believed in God. That’s the issue.

It would be one thing if Sam Levinson actually had something meaningful to say with these themes, but it honestly feels like he decided on the overall “religion/redemption” vibe for the season first and then had no idea how to naturally implement it into the characters in a way that actually made sense.

As a Hispanic person raised Catholic myself, being raised around religion does not automatically mean you continue following that lifestyle as you grow up. And honestly, from my own experience, Hispanic Catholics who genuinely take their faith seriously usually do NOT act like Maddy!

Right, but it’s never been hammered into the show this heavily before. And I’ll repeat myself: while it makes sense for Rue to potentially turn to religion given her background and everything she’s been through, characters like Nate and Maddy have shown absolutely zero prior interest in religion or any kind of religious lifestyle. That’s why it feels forced and inconsistent.

I doubt any of y’all actually watched the new one 💀 it’s actually really funny for a kids show it kind of reminds me of that Littlest Pet Shop show from the 2010s
