723010, I enjoyed it through the wrestling angle, but I think it had too many characters

for 30 minute episodes. it wanted to be OITNB without trying as hard. The Asian and Indian characters were basically only there for the light digs on wrestling's history with racism and xenophobia, and the She-Wolf was there because...She-Wolf? Ruth, Debbie, Sam, Bash, Welfare Queen were great. I wish it had focused more on Ruth and Debbie since that was clearly the A plot for the season but because they wanted to stuff the structure of OITNB into half-as-long a show they told a lot of cookie cutter stories around the big one.
