Work In Progress

I found Work In Progress on a list of shows with trans characters while I was trying to look up something else. It's about a butch dyke who winds up dating a trans man, according to reviews. Lilly Wachowski wrote part of it and also was an executive producer.

Per the Wikipedia article:

Inspired by her participation in Netflix's Disclosure, Executive Producer Lilly Wachowski made an emphatic push for trans representation throughout the cast and crew including the soundtrack. Transgender musicians in the show's soundtrack include Backxwash, Quay Dash, Sateen, SuperKnova, and Mel Stone.

I tried watching it, but it's another cringe comedy. Also it's a cringe comedy dealing with death and suicidal ideation. It was very well reviewed, but it's just not my type of show. I made it ten minutes in, and that's it for me.

Oof, that sucks. The show goes right into the death and suicide stuff as well. I hate it when shows have misleading advertising, but that is particularly bad. I went in prepared, but was put off by how they mixed all that with comedy. I think you can mix those themes with comedy, but wasn't into how they did it.

Apparently the whole SNL thing is an ongoing plotline.

to be fair, if I could make a show and get Kristin Wiig on it just to make her apologize for all of her sketches that were just making fun of people with disabilities, I probably would.

lol, fair.

I am curious how they play out that storyline but, nope.
