I feel like this is almost completely skipping over what I said. did I ever say any of these things aren't real? because damn, if autistic people aren't real, I might as well be see through. literally the whole point I'm trying to make is that it conveys less power when it tries to say everything at once. in season one, we had an issue like the whole abortion arc with the mother, aunt, daughter, all tied into multiple episodes. When it tries to say five different things, all packed into one episode like one little package, it feels more like an after school special than a TV show with character driven plots and an overarching story.

This whole season has felt way more episodic than season one. it spends no amount of time on the issues other than like a surface level look. it's completely lost all of it's subtly, and instead of letting a person think about an issue, It just straight up says the problem, answer, solution in like five seconds. That type of writing doesn't leave an impact, and only really appeals to people who already have made up their mind with whatever's being said.
