So I know the writing was already on the wall when Scott Backula declined to join the production, and the new cast included no white men (except the trans mtf), and of course the smartest person in the room is invariably a trans.

Well, call me stupid but I loved the original and the new one came on a few weeks ago while I was staying at a hotel, so I actually got somewhat into it.

Started watching the entire season, which isn't finished yet, and the latest episode I finally get to watch is chock full of trans everything.

The guy leaps into the dad/coach of a trans kid on a girls' basketball team, one of the suspects in present day is a trans poet, there are multiple drawn out scenes where the main trans character has a heart-to-heart about how everybody who is trans tries to commit suicide, despite the obvious knowledge that before the trans trend, very few kids were committing suicide, and that the child suicide rate actually increased as trans became more popular.

And the biggest part that made me turn it off, is that they framed the episode as though the parents are bigots for wanting a biological male off the court of a girls' basketball team, even after it's made clear that bringing him into the game completely changed how it was going and they quickly won the game because of him.

They're not even pretending not to preach anymore. New television is a f'n struggle session now.

I can't even watch tv.

As a side note, has anybody noticed that most trans on tv are mtf. I don't think I recall seeing a ftm on television.
