I’m two episodes in on Mrs. Fletcher and I’m deeply confused by the college storyline. Who is the intended audience for it, and why do the writers imagine that audience is watching Mrs. Fletcher?
“Okay, so it’s about a divorced empty-nester trying to fiugure out what she wants from life, love, and sex. She’s played by Kathryn Hahn.”
“Love it. What else?”
“Twice an episode we cut away from Hahn’s story to watch her asshole son have sex with some random hot chick.”
“Love it. What else?”
“Twice an episode we cut away from Hahn’s story to watch her asshole son have sex with some random hot chick.”
“So, the son is a charming sociopath?”
“No, he’s a stupid bigoted misogynistic bully.”
“Ah. But the girls can’t see this?”
“No, they do. They find him repellent. We make that really clear.”
“And then?”
“And then they fuck him.”
“Why?”
“Why what?”
“No, he’s a stupid bigoted misogynistic bully.”
“Ah. But the girls can’t see this?”
“No, they do. They find him repellent. We make that really clear.”
“And then?”
“And then they fuck him.”
“Why?”
“Why what?”
