I actually liked this show. No, it wasn't perfect, but it was dumb, harmless escapism, which is exactly what it needed to be.

I wouldn't call it harmless.

When they get introduced into the guild, there is this scene where there are these members that are obviously gay stereotypes that try to assault the main character and are punchlines
