SMILF's off-camera #MeToo-related problems are hard to ignore in Season 2

Vulture

Accusations of misconduct against creator and star Frankie Shaw "will inevitably occupy some mental space" when SMILF returns Sunday, says Jen Chaney. "In any context, it would be tough not to consider Shaw’s personal sexual attitudes when, in an episode she co-wrote and directed, her character, Bridgette, imagines a conversation with her father that morphs into a sexual encounter with a guy in a Harvey Weinstein mask," says Chaney. "It’s even harder not to think about it in light of her alleged treatment of a female co-star (Samara Weaving)."
