I wrote on a YouTube video tonight, in great agreement with you:

I started episode 4 tonight and finally bailed on this show for good halfway through (during the lingerie store scene). My latest concern with it is the protagonist. He’s been under her thumb now for some time, but he’s not adapting or growing in any perceivable way, which is not how humans generally brain. He continues to act as if he can only freeze, vs. (say) fawning (trying to figure out ahead of time what she wants and people-pleasing in the moment), or fighting (pushing back in any way, even verbally, like needling her in some extremely passive sort of way), or f***ing (expressing lust or engaging in double-entendre). All he has to offer us as viewers is panic-stricken anxiety, and that’s not particularly entertaining or relatable. Humans get accustomed to strange circumstances: even abusive situations become “normal”. And this would be an entirely different show if “dommy girl decides she wants a boy with an anxiety disorder”. That could even be an interesting premise along the lines of Komi Can’t Communicate. This show absolutely can’t pull off the level of subtlety and empathy that would require; it’s just bad, and I’m done with its badness.

Also, the swimming animation was terrible. TERRIBLE!!! This show isn’t so bad it’s good, it’s just outright bad.

All good points, I agree completely.

Out of curiosity, do you have a link to the YouTube video?

Ah, thanks for sharing that!

I haven't seen videos from that channel before, but I really like this one, so I'll have to check out some more. Thank you!
