The show itself is bloody awful but its 1 redeeming feature is the way it treats the tomboyish daughter of the protagonist. The girl is 9 and is into all boys' things, clothes, blue, likes short hair, is friends with boys. Despite the pressure from outside forces the parents behave just like good gender-critical feminists would: they don't trans her, refer to her by a boys' name or 'he', don't try to force pink and princesses on her, and cater to her interests without a word that anything's unusual. At 1 point the mother throws an angry fit at another parent for hinting that the girl is trans. This is justified because the only thing the child had done so far that might suggest it is pronounce that she's a boy by hearsay ONCE, as opposed to just being into all the stuff that society has artificially delineated to be for boys.

I'm pretty freaking impressed that such a piece of sanity would come out of Hollywood by way of Netflix. Even though the series is terrible beyond beyond belief, I'm gonna skip ahead and see the resolution of this storyline. Fingers crossed that the kid will not be shown to be trans by the end, but they're showing that gender is socially constructed BS.
