Then you probably shouldn’t bother watching, because a lot of the target demographic
is those (older ladies), and plenty do want to see these kinds of storylines instead of pretending their lives ended at 38.

I mean seriously, did you hate watchers think this was going to be a Golden Girls reboot? I mean even Blanche was trying to get laid on the regular.

All of them were trying to get laid on the regular!

and why would charlotte rope her friends into attending a school action, their friendships now seem weird and too codependent. the guy playing steve never should have agreed to be on the show, they are basically making him the deaf, doddrering senior citizen of the show.
Watching charlotte try to talk with those super inflated lips is never wracking.

David Eigenberg (Steve) is actually almost deaf in real life and that’s why his character is almost deaf!

Fine but IRL people who need hearing aids later in life do NOT scream and seem befuddled all the time. At least not after they get the hearing aids! It's a very ugly and unfair portrayal of disability TBH. I think they're depicting Steve like this in order to legitimize Miranda's cheating.

The character is like 55, not 85.

And would even the boldest overprivileged teenager speak to her boyfriend's parents like that?

It was just so weird and ott.

What the heck did I just watch? It feels do disjointed. Would they really auction off a date at a school fundraiser? I'm asking seriously because I don't have kids.

I am trying to parse out how much of this is my own ageism (or that I find Miranda to be really unattractive) and how much is that it’s just bad writing etc. I think it’s mostly the latter but also some of the former (even though I’m only a little younger than they are!).

It always feels to me like these characters actually stopped living when the show/movies ended and now they are in 2022 NYC, like Dorothy or something. It’s all very bizarre and unappealing.

I have this feeling too

Yes, why is Steve yelling all the time? Just .. yelling. He used to save sucha sweet and earnest manner. Now he's bent over shouting about farmer's markets

Sadly the actor Dave Eisenberg did suffer hearing loss and does wear hearing aids.
