Fucking beat me to it. That show was so great.

Ehhhh, Season 1 and 2 were, and it fell off for me when Graham Linehan started pushing his anti-trans shit in season 3. Never even checked out season 4 because I was so put off.

Looks like the BBC even eventually pulled the episode in question from streaming.

Wait, whaaa? I don’t remember that…

Season 3, episode 4.

From Wikipedia:

Douglas finds the love of his life in a journalist named April, but mishears that she used to be a man, thinking she said that she is from Iran. After learning the truth about April, Douglas breaks up with her, but their ensuing fist fight disrupts the shareholder meeting, crushing "the internet", and causing panic. Later, Douglas, alone at home, regrets breaking up with April.

Channel 4 removed the episode from its streaming service on 5 October 2020 after complaints of transphobia regarding the reaction of Douglas to a trans character and Graham Linehan's controversial opinions of the trans community.

It stuck with me because I really like Matt Berry and it disappointed me that he was down to make a show of beating the shit out of a trans woman for comedy.

If you think seeing a fictional idiot engage in a farcical caricature of bigotry is offensive, I've got a movie you should steer clear of. It's called Jojo Rabbit. It's got a lot of really silly Nazis saying horrible things about Jews, and they all get blown up at the end by the Allies. You'd hate it.

Not being British nor having access directly to the BBC, perhaps I just never saw that episode.

Shameful
