YMMV / Good Trouble

• Adorkable: Ethan, an autistic man with social anxiety, with his best friend being his turtle Donatello, who asks Mariana to help him navigate social situations and dating.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: During the Diversity Comedy Show is all of a sudden an Imagine Spot of Davia, standing on the stage, singing a song, making no sense at all. It doesn't help that the song is longer than what is shown of the show itself, and after it was teased the whole season.
• Romantic Plot Tumor: While Gael and Callie have had Will They or Won't They? plots before, fans are quick to voice how tired they are of season 3’s Callie/Gael/Isabella storyline.
• Strawman Has a Point: When Malika wants to open a social housing experiment for single mothers to help them not go to prison, one of the citizens is firmly against it, stating it would increase police forces around the neighborhood. This is depicted as a hurdle, and something people shouldn't be afraid of. But this person is rightfully concerned with more police in a dominantly black neighborhood, and the show actually had police brutality as a plot point for the first season with Malika in the center, so she should know better.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The three coders that left Speculate with Mariana kick her out after finding out about her secret relationship with Evan and make her out to be a terrible person, but they come off as ungrateful since she helped them all personally, encouraging one to pitch better, showing no ill will when another starts dating her ex, and allowing one of them to stay at her place when she gets evicted. Sure, Mariana is in the wrong for lying, but they blew it out of proportion and cast her aside as if she was a terrible person. And then it's made even more confusing when they ultimately just forgive her without any real reckoning or heart-to-heart besides some brief squabbling among themselves.
  • By the same token, Mariana becomes Unintentionally Sympathetic if we assume the whole issue with the Fight Club girls was meant to be a karmic comeuppance for her being such an ungrateful and manipulative bitch to Callie and Raj respectively in the previous season. Granted, she still seems to get the intended Character Development as a result.
• Vanilla Protagonist: Alice. In a show tackling racism, queerphobia, and sexism, her story is about standing up for herself and making a career as a comedian.
