The world is failing pre-teen girls / I hate Netflix
26 March 2023
I watched this for nostalgia reasons when it first came out and liked it. I had fun watching Alicia Silverstone too.

My daughter was too young when it came out but we just watched the first episode and she is SO EXCITED. It's the first show we can watch together that is not too childish and not too adult. She asked about the absent dad and we had a good discussion about parenting and families. This show is going to open the door to other talks I'm looking forward to but don't want to force.

Then I read this show was canceled after two seasons and I'm gutted. I'm realizing society and culture just don't care about girls, especially girls moving from kids to adolescents (and heaven forbid, getting their first periods).

I'm guessing preteen girls don't generate Marvel-level revenue or boy-centric "fandoms". So the MOSTLY MALE entertainment exes don't care. "Representation" on Netflix is BS lip service.
