Frankly the best thing about the show was its extremely subtle stabs at sjw and entitlement mentality.
Agree with the last part. Obviously Steve Zahn and Connie Britton were liberal, but every time Paula and Olivia diatribed, they just put them in their place and pissed them off because all they knew were talking points of "oppression, colonizers, etc." and didn't really have any responses.
They acknowledged that bad stuff happened in the past, but put a realistic take on what the real world is now.

Well, the whole business idea was a suckup for cash, so getting cash without having a crazy lasy business partner isnt much of an insult at that point.
I have no idea why people are so hard on Belinda acting like she wasn't totally altruistic. Coolidge is the one who told her to make a business plan and pursue it. I saw every action of her as kind until she blew off Daddario at the end, and i didn't necessarily disagree with her.
all of the characters were deeply flawed, pretty much, that probably being the point of the show. belinda (the one trying to start her own business) was probably the most relatable and good person in the show, but the ending to me shows that even she was pretty flawed.
IMO, she truly thought she was nice and patient; she truly thought she was doing everyone her best; but when her opportunity was presented, she lost sight of everything and turned selfish without even realizing it.
she lost sight of the fact that this rich lady was too crazy and self centered to be relied on; without even realizing it herself, she went from generously helping a crazy lonely woman, she ignored the crazy and sucked up to the rich lady for her own gain, so much so that when the crazy lady actually did something selfless and generous, and handed her a huge wad of cash, which was a tremendous gift, she didnt even appreciate it.
