* CharacterShilling: Jane. While some shilling is to be expected, as she is loosely based on real-life ''Cosmopolitan'' Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles, whose career inspired the show, the show keeps insisting that she's a brilliant young writer while never actually showing most of her writing. Later seasons also push the notion that she will become the new Editor-in-Chief at ''Scarlet'', but when she's given her own bullpen to lead, she fails so badly at management that one of the writers quits and the other writer complains that Jane is ignoring her. The nadir is probably "Day Trippers", in which Jacqueline formally announces her plans to make Jane her successor - after an episode in which Jane not only ignores Jacqueline's orders to take a day off to deal with her obvious stress, but instead shows up to work high as a kite.

Most of the discussion of the season, however, centered around Kat's arc, in which she exposes the fact that ''Scarlet'''s profits are being used to fund right-wing causes, is fired and blackballed from other jobs in her field, and ends up having to endure lectures from a condescending GayConservative in order to keep her new job as a bartender. She also inexplicably ends up in a relationship with said gay conservative, despite the relationship alienating her friends and threatening her attempts to get a new podcast off the ground. Fans hated the storyline with a fiery passion, and then Aisha Dee came forward and confessed at length that she hated it, too, and that the storyline was only the latest instance of the showrunners treating her like crap. That this all happened amid real-life discussions about racism as well as discussions about the treatment of black actors in media did not help things.
