It has been a cute, silly and shallow show. The actual playlist makes the weak writing and underlying ideology palatable. Where the show struggles is in it's attempts at drama. The characters aren't really deep enough to make the drama seem unforced. They make Jane Leevy's character the most shallow of all - she is more like an angsty teenager than anything else. The show is really like an excuse to perform the songs, and I've been ok with it. But Ep 6 of Season 2 killed it. I get Hollywood's need to propagandize, but Simon's pouting over his hardship about having a great job in a tech company without being a tech and Zoey's apologizing for her whiteness took it too far for me. I'm done. I'll have to get my music fix from Spotify.

I have enjoyed the show. The cop scenes have all been done before, but the show is really about the characters interaction. It's decent work. They've done a pretty good job at showing characters in multiple lights - often total jerks but then give more information to show they are human. The first two seasons, the politics was ever present, but kept to a minimum. Season 3 is getting far more woke. So far it is just annoying - they made the obligatory racist cop shows - but at least they mde it about a single cop, but the non-stop "cleaning up the force" or "it's not any better that it used to be" got pretty old. The episode 6 anti-cop bits undermine the show. If the politics get any stronger, even Nathan Fillion won't be able to help.
