Yes - very true on both counts. The first half was terrible- but also worrying in terms of messaging. How was it somehow empowering for Mindy to make money by selling the outfit given by her boyfriend or that after his appalling controlling behaviour everything was somehow ok because he took her to a cupboard with fancy clothes and told her to pick whatever she liked? And Emily’s actions seemed exploitative of her relationships most of the time. The second half was better although still had the issues mentioned. This was the best analysis I’ve seen of the series - thank you!
