I'm going to take a guess that actual Iranian-American males are going to have a problem with this. When you're in a group that doesn't have a lot of representation on American TV, you don't want to see something so emasculating.

I liked her on SNL, but yikes, that looks bad.

Don't know (or care) about the show, but I'd like to see her and the dude to her right in a cage match

I'd be more inclined to watch a show called "Chad & Becky" about a super WASP-y couple's hjinks at their summer house in Nantucket.....and that sounds fricking awful

Worse than Search Party, which almost had me onboard, until its terrible Season1 ending. I hear it's on HBO Max now, which I can really not watch, as I don't subscribe.

It looks dumb, not to mention creepy that a woman almost forty is playing a 14 year old teenage boy. Pass.

Chad isn’t derogatory, it’s the opposite. Someone will be called chad if they’re hyper masculine/dominant.


Yeh I know that, but I mean the derogation is implied by the people that use it. I've always seen it in memes and in people using it as like a "Chad" as a "privileged" "toxically masculine white guy."

It honestly looks like the worst thing I've ever seen.

That network that gave us two seasons of Bob Hearts Abishola knows no shame.

Bob Hearts Abishola is actually a pretty decent show. A niche audience for sure, but funny and entertaining.

So I left my TV on TBS after the games and studio recap the other night and they showed the premiere of this “show.” It is by far the worst thing I’ve ever watched. In fact, it was so bad I couldn’t stop watching. It’s scary awful.

should give it a run for its money as far as shitty stuff goes. It seems pretty racist for them to make a comedy show about an arab not fitting in in america in 2021.

There's no doubt that users intend it that way but being called masculine really doesn't bother me.

Just ran across this and made it through 9 minutes before having to turn it off and do a Search to see if this had been discussed. That was probably the worst thing I have ever attempted to watch.

is a female playing a male part of the show or it's just their attempt at placating the woke crowd



For the life of me I can't figure out how the producers of this show couldn't find a young teenage boy to play this role and gave it to a 39 yr. old woman to play. Not sure what their agenda is, but I want no part of it.

And I agree, I also have no interest in watching this shite show of a tv show.

It’s amazing TBS cancels the consistently funny and entertaining LOST parody, Wrecked, and then goes and creates this steaming pile of shite.
