We discuss the ways that season one subverts expected conventions in sports comedies, especially when it comes to race and masculinity. We also take a critical look at some of the areas where the show misses the mark. Two guests join this conversation: professor of literature and culture Felicia Lopez and writer/filmmaker Imran Siddiquee.
