Intriguing storyline riddled with MSNBC politics
25 March 2020
I heard this show would be similarly written as This Is Us and it's true. If you like This Is Us then it's likely you'll be sucked into this show as well. Council of Dads thus far is well written and has a slightly far-fetched storyline but I enjoyed watching. There were already a few moments of eye-welling and that's impressive for a 41 minute show that has no previous backstory.

The problem is NBC is already pushing the storywriters' political beliefs too early for me to try to get around it.

Twenty minutes into the show and I'm hearing about how great Ruth Bader Ginsburg is (who the heck talks about her casually?) and a second wave of a transgender six year old kid that only an old, white, bigoted woman would bat an eye at. I'm surprised she wasn't wearing a Trump hat just to drive the point home.

I've heard the many complaints about this in sports, but it seems like we have no escape from politics. I would turn on MSNBC or FoxNews if I wanted to be indoctrinated. Leave the politics out and keep writing quality content. I would rate higher and watch more if they did.
