This show seems like it's made by people who try very hard to adhere to a presently mandated moral outlook, that they dress up as being about listening and evolving, while fundamentally lacking any authentic moral courage. How do you make a show about art and side with cultural forces that neurotically obsess over the ways in which artists offend the sensitivities of puritans? How do you elevate kids with no life experience scolding and bullying people and threatening their careers to some kind of moral virtue? That's not real moral progress. It's just a peculiar fixation of an age in which activism has been reduced to the level of a vanity consumer product, and in which the only empowerment available to young people is the momentary righteousness they feel when tearing others down. The show doesn't even have the spine to make any of the supposedly offensive jokes genuinely dangerous because, ironically, they're apparently terrified of causing offense. This only makes matters worse, because the impression we are left with is not only that the writers are constantly pulling their punches and censoring themselves, but that the lead character is being hounded into apologizing for jokes even more unfairly than had the material been truly radioactive. If the comedy had some teeth or actually led to people being "harmed" as they say (and make no mistake, the word "harmed" here is used as a substitute for "offended") then maybe we'd find any of this believable, but as it stands she is punished and browbeaten for the sort of material that would get a laugh RIGHT NOW if a comedian with good timing said any of it during a set, without a single person being remotely perturbed. Audiences at comedy gigs aren't children, and they can handle an 'offensive' joke or two. Moral and creative cowardice from the showrunners, and their series is worse, both as entertainment and with respect to its thesis, because of it.
@Ben-pd2dx THIS. It's awful to see a series shaming a real comedian and forcing her to change if she wants to continue comedy. The people in the woke religion can't see how they are desperate to make everyone the same. Everyone in their woke church, following their woke commandments. They place themselves in a little box out of fear and don't understand others or hate others who won't do the same. Nothing about controlling or changing Deborah to be like them is humorous. Taking away HER jokes about HER life is sad. She submits and gives up her freedom to continue working. If Deborah were truly courageous, she would not follow their new orders to stay in the business.
A great show with an awesome cast & writing

Estrogen overload pass.
Threatened by strong women.
You know guys produce estrogen too right?
Okay Soyboy!
You're pathetic
Imagine being so insecure as a man you feel threatened by a tv show about women.
