new layout because i can

now here's a thread of reasons why you should watch zoey's extraordinary playlist (without spoilers) because i've grown to absolutely adore that show
#ZoeysPlaylist

1. it's a musical. need i say more?

2. it's a dramedy. there's comedy for those who want something light-hearted, but also emotional moments for those who are suckers for that.

3. the main character is a successful young woman in tech with her boss being a woman too. there are themes surrounding male-female dynamics in the work ebvironment.

4. there are key characters who are poc and clearly aren't there just for diversity points, but serve a purpose in the story.

5. there's a black genderfluid character and there is a full story that focuses on his struggles with self-expression in church. his identity is made clear without making it his whole personality. i'm not genderfluid or poc, but i feel like his character is handled pretty well

6. speaking of religion - it's tackled neutrally and in a respectful manner. the show also expresses the viewpoint that everyone has the right to choose their path in faith and it shouldn't be forced.

7. zoey's extraordinary playlist deals very well with the idea of losing a loved one, whether it be to illness or suicide.

8. men's emotionality is a constant theme. there's no black and white "men don't cry" or "men bad women good" attitude present. the emotional hardships of men aren't undermined and i think that's really important.

i can't think of any more that wouldn't spoil the story as of now and i'm also only on episode 5, so i might add to this thread later on.

basically - watch zoey's extraordinary playlist
