Is 'So Not Worth It' worth it?

It depends on who you ask. I can definitely see the appeal this show has to a younger, college-age audience but the show really didn't come across as a genuine effort at inclusion and diversity that it so desperately wants to be. Maybe it's because 'So Not Worth It' is an unoriginal sitcom, the jokes are predictable low-hanging fruit, and the show itself seems to constantly pat itself on the back for casting non-Koreans who speak fluent Korean--a novelty that wears off quick in the early episodes. And don't get me started on the ill-timed laugh track--an obvious attempt at masking the writers' severe lack of skills for writing comedy for such a diverse group of characters. What's also obvious is that the creators of SNWI didn't do their homework as far as racially diverse character development is concerned. This show is messy at best and there were so many missed opportunities to offer humorous takes on much more relevant topics happening in the world today. Instead, 'So Not Worth It' proves that it's not worth it.
