"Very dirty but with an AMAZING story line"

"Honestly, so shocked this is so highly rated.<br/><br/>Sure, the sex was hot. The relationship? Not at all. Their fights were seemingly out of nowhere and made no logical sense, whatsoever.<br/><br/>Also, I have big beef with the way that KC handled having a Latina female lead. It’s as if she’s never met a bilingual person, because she wrote half of Lucia/Cat’s dialogue as if she was Dora the Explorer. It was awkward and jarring and in my experience just not how bilingual people speak. My own mother doesn’t speak the greatest English but she doesn’t weave in non English words randomly. Also, not how Spanglish works. And I HATED how Jess kept calling her “hot mami.” It’s gross, it was really fetishisizing and made me incredibly uncomfortable.<br/><br/>The choice to use SO many acronyms was so cringe. I genuinely do not believe that sex workers and tricks use acronyms when speaking out loud to one another. I’m sure she did a lot of research in message boards and the like, but it all came across as very heavy handed and strange.<br/><br/>As far as the writing of the female characters/friendships, these girls are supposed to be on the cusp of millennial and gen z, they do not speak like it. I’ve never heard one of my peers refer to their partner with “gotta keep him in line” ball and chain type jokes. Jess’s constant insane crass jokes? She doesn’t sound like a fun, liberated person. She sounds like a predator. All these girls came off to the same tune as “hello fellow kids.” I don’t know anyone my age or younger who used to “yo” so liberally. The girls just orbit around one another. It’s so weird.<br/><br/>The Professional was so fun, and the premise of the Master was so good, but it was so incredibly poorly executed. Sorry to everyone that thinks otherwise."
