I getcha. It just seems to me that kind of criticism of the show isn't fair. It's criticizing it for being something it's not, rather than how well it's executing what it is.

Ryan Murphy isn't going to do in your face realism, and he's not going to explicitly tackle social problems. It's not his style. But the show, to me, presents itself as being cheesy satire and with that in mind, it excels.
