Just catching up on The Morning Show and the storyline of the young assistant who throws herself heavily at a reluctant male superior and goads him into an affair with her against a #MeToo plot backdrop feels... like a questionable choice.
Maybe it gets better, but the whole twenty-four year old subordinate who can't keep her hands off her middle-aged male superior and is hampered by an over-zealous HR feels like a Qanon "what if" fantasy and a red herring #MeToo argument to me.
I get their overall point, which is that a lot of sexual harassment is built into the everyday culture that we just learn to laugh off, that it's all gray, that consent is just too complex.
But consent pretty straightforward and a lot of #MeToo cases aren't gray at all.

Also-- not sleeping with subordinates is just generally a good rule to live by. If someone you have power over is really your consensual soul mate and you can't live without her, then you should get another job.
Poof! No more gray.
