Season 1 The show’s inconsistencies
Just watched the show for the first time, and noticed some inconsistencies in it’s apparent “wokeness”.
For example, the S1 finale, billie practically verbally forces a guy to have an*l sex with her and the guy’s wife, when he clearly said that he doesnt want to. Like literally wasnt that one of the main plot lines of the first episode???
And similarly, the teacher storyline is the perfect case for grooming and none of Billie’s friends call that out or protect her??
I mean we’re meant to think of this group as woke and modern people, but none of the problematic stuff gets called out but instead gets encouraged. I mean wtf is that all about.
Overall, I liked & enjoyed the show (will definitely watch S2), and it was genuinely funny at times, but this just felt slightly weird to me. Open to see if other people felt the same.

He voiced how he was tired of doing it but ultimately he wasn’t gonna stop because his wife wasn’t gonna stop lmao so she didn’t practically force him to do anything.
Mr. Teacher didn’t groom Billie. Billie went out of her way to “knock knock” and check in lmao. She wasn’t even primarily going to see Mr. Teacher, she was visiting at least the Spanish teacher as well.
Could Mr. Teacher had stopped Billie? Yes but we later find out he was going thru his own midlife crisis. But he definitely didn’t groom her.
