Like Mad Men, much of the enjoyment this show once offered stemmed from the 1950s to 1960s look and culture. This started to crumble in S3 with the introduction of current time sensibilities. It took a huge nosedive in S4 with every other word now one of the 7 deadly ones that Lenny Bruce used to say was forbidden particularly the F-bomb.
This not just from the abrasive, annoying Susie character but from everybody. It's as if modern talk where this tedium is expected, suddenly happened in 1960. Hot flash writers. Nobody and I mean nobody spoke this way in 1960. It wasn't scandalous, it was disgusting to people if anybody tried.
Meanwhile, we get the modern interpretation of the self-indulgent supposedly put upon female in a male world. For example, the lead character decides, after wasting all her money on an apartment, that the way to live is to cheat gullible businesses into extending her credit she'll only pay if things go her way. One business declines the con which PROVES that women are oppressed.
Meanwhile one woman, the sister of Dirty Susie, prostitutes herself to defraud a company. That's portrayed as being on the side of the angels. I'm into E2 or S4 and I'm out for good.
