It's a good idea but it also suffers for wokeisms and pandering to target audience, which is women 25-50. Women who watch this are there to fantasize about getting double teamed and headlock them into submission by the Spade brothers, if you catch my drift. That's why they are sweaty and shirtless most of the time.
The underlining story is about family dynamics and a compelling story of rivalry in the sleazy world of promotions, makes sure to break the kayfabe as much as possible showing the rehearsals and practice and even having title change as a main plot point while playing the matches in a pseudo-kayfabe, as if there was constant shoots happening. Which is a stylistic choice I did like, it's a good spice and gives a focus on the in-ring psychology on how to work the marks instead of relying on bunch of housewifes getting it from just by seeing it, but then it also turns around sacrifices that realism for gurlpower and trying to make the shows real world as exciting and consequences free which shits the bed. You can't have it both ways.
I don't want to spoil anything more than this
>>16269276 absolute quackery. The plot calls for her to rise up, which is a good twist in the end of season 1 but she doesn't rise up as just a draw, no she has to be bad ass irl in the most flippyshitter fake way possible because girl power - women can do anything that men do blaa blaa blaa...
For the consequences part, the main characters would be in a real long jail sit down with several lawsuit pending if you think about the reality of the situation they get into for even a second. It's fine to stretch reality for the story but they seem to miss out completely on how to work that into an angle or if they don't want to turn it into a courtroom drama, keep it at realistic level.
