I felt I had to watch this show because a vast majority seemed to focus on the actor playing the part of the main character (and smacked of identity politics and cancel culture). Many of the reviews said that they'd either not watched the show, watched only the promos, or only watched a few moments before they turned it off.
I just watched the full pilot episode and it was fine. There were some funny moments, Nasim Pedrad did a very good job portraying a teenaged boy. Could the writing have been more current and relatable to today's teens (who are so very different to teens of other decades)? Maybe?
Did the actor write the show? She did write the pilot. Is it less relatable than any Disney show? No.
Is it a waste of time? I don't think so. No more of a waste than any 30 minute sitcom. It's much better than TIm Allen's latest sitcom which has almost 200 episodes.
