The entire series is a deft comic skewering of far-left politics from the 1960s until now, which may explain why leftist reviewers are practically frothing with hostility toward it, albeit without much acknowledgment of the severe case of betrayal they must be feeling toward a fellow lefty for demolishing their radical pieties. (Of the first three reviews I checked, one tut-tutted Allen for making hurtful jokes about the quality of television, another said he wasn’t entitled to make even a passing reference to adoption, and a third complained that the production design of the show, which was evidently made on a low budget, lacked all those immersive “Mad Men” touches.)

So does Mia Farrow.................
The Left in a nutshell - they want to determine everyone's standing to be heard, according to their loyalty determinations.
Pure totalitarianism.
Is it just me, or does he look like Henry Kissinger’s stunt double?
I remember hearing years ago that, even for some liberals, what happened with him and his step daughter was a bridge too far for them.
When I was in college over 60 years ago I had a Marxist professor say exactly the same thing, “Not everyone is entitled to their own opinion.” It is dogma on the left.

But that whole alleged molestation deal with one young daughter and the marrying of his step-daughter didn’t really seem to faze some of them so much.
Adopted............
Yeah, one of the corporate raiders in the 1980s was a such a piece of work too. His social crowd started shunning him when he took up with the daughter of one of his former mistresses.

Not his step-daughter. Didn’t even live in the same house.
Mia Farrow was the bad one in that relationship.
Thanks for the correction. The adopted daughter of the woman he had a relationship with.
Herbert Marcuse.
Right in the Wiki, thats where your prof got it. If it was 60 years ago he was cutting edge.
“Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.
Surely, no government can be expected to foster its own subversion, but in a democracy such a right is vested in the people (i.e. in the majority of the people). This means that the ways should not be blocked on which a subversive majority could develop, and if they are blocked by organized repression and indoctrination, their reopening may require apparently undemocratic means. They would include the withdrawal of toleration of speech and assembly from groups and movements which promote aggressive policies, armament, chauvinism, discrimination on the grounds of race and religion, or which oppose the extension of public services, social security, medical care, etc.”
“what happened with him and his step daughter was a bridge too far for them.”
I was shocked that the libs were shocked.

Kind of a delayed reaction?
Woody’s a little like Norman Mailer: definitely “on the left” in a vague (and sometimes not so vague) way, but too much of a Brooklyn guy — an outsider or a comedian — to take liberal or leftist pretensions too seriously. That doesn’t make him a “good guy” politically or otherwise, but it does mean he can get it right sometimes.
Never trust a guy named “Woody”
His responsibility to his adopted daughter was to treat her like a daughter, not as an optional relative.
