Who gets second chances, and what do we do with the work of problematic creators?
On this week’s episode of The Waves, Slate senior editor Allegra Frank and production assistant Madeline Ducharme talk about the latest season of Netflix’s. The pair digs into the show’s depiction of a queer Black relationship and breakup, and discusses if the show is even a comedy anymore. Also: how are we supposed to care about a relationship when we first see it at its end?
After the break, Allegra and Madeline go outside of the show to talk about Season 3’s creators, Aziz Ansari and Lena Waithe. Ansari and Waithe have both stirred controversy in the past few years. At the height of the #MeToo movement, a now shuttered site called Babe.net reported an alleged unpleasant sexual encounter between a 22-year-old woman and Ansari. In response, Ansari stepped out of the spotlight for a couple years, though he said at the time that the encounter was consensual.
