You can see the way media literacy is going simply by analyzing the reactions of fans to things that are happening inside the shows they are watching.
You can create the most beautiful interesting script your show has seen in a while, but if the fans are just taking it at face value without giving it any thought, they will just keep taking that the storyline is not going the way this should have because it's not spelled out for them.
No, the characters can't solve their issues in less than 10 episodes. I know you want them to kiss and make up but that's not how real life works and that's not how good storylines work.
Every step Lucy is taking this season is completely expected, and valid. The fact she wants to focus on her career, that she was blindsided by the breakup and thinks workplace romance is not for her, or that it fucked her up... valid. She doesn't owe anybody anything, especially when it comes to her emotions. She can take her time because she deserves to take her time.
Don't downplay her trauma just because Tim is also going through it. Yeah, he's hurting but she was hurting the entirety of season 6, and yeah, it's his turn to gravel. We need consequences for the actions of characters even when they are good people and they never meant to hurt anyone. Someone still got hurt.
