    I started watching a show with a friend of mine. It is a decent show. Mostly just relationship and family drama. Nothing special. I watched last night's episode and I was like... Wait, what? So this couple took in a kid after his mom was deported to Haiti and adopted him. He was an older teen at the time. He is now 18 I believe and started seeing a 16/17 year old girl. They slept together pretty fast and when he told his adoptive mom they made it official (they are in a relationship), she goes "Don't you think you are moving a little too fast?"... They already were in bed together. That wasn't moving fast but getting in a relationship is? What the f kind of backward thinking is this?

    What's the name of the TV show if you don't mind me asking, I like romance , relationship, action and drama movies. There is this show I like watch which centers on black education and what it's like for black student coping with student debt and attending an all white University and it still has romance in it.

    I've noticed this trend in film and tv series too. Relationship plots used to see a semblance of courtship and dating activities, but now that chemistry building is replaced by sex being the main activity before even knowing if there's a desire to truly be with the person. Apart from agendas, I think it's a writing cop out in order to heighten the audience's emotions and open the door for drama and messy webs to tangle characters in.

    I think it's more of that they believe sex gets a lot of attention and if you look at it from that angle, there's an element of truth in it. But in my opinion, that shouldn't be how it supposed to be. We need better plot especially when it's a romance related TV shows. A lot of young people need to understand what relationship is all about and not just sex.

    This that Million Little Things show? My mom watches it and I remember complaining about some stuff on the show similar to what you are saying. This comes down to bad writing I think. Like it is something they didn't even consider.

    Yeah, the show is A Million Little Things.

    You are not wrong. I feel like the lines are being blurred and they want people to focus on casual sex with no strings rather than forming relationships because people are weaker and easier to manipulate when they are not bonded with someone or have a strong family system around them.

    It's shows like that and Real World (*All of them) that had me abandoning main TV/Cable as a whole. If it's not some off the wall cookery then it's LGBTQ overkill.

    I don't even devote much of my time to TV this days, just working on my PC , then coming on the forum to get some chill when I got time to and then I'm back working on my PC again. But I still follow the grown-ish tv series from time to time though because it's about black lives.

    This! I can't wrap my head on why these TV shows now put sex first in a way that it is unrealistic in the world. If people start having sex first in real life without getting to know who they are going down with, bet me the world will be worst than what we have now.
