Not only is she executive producer, but her name is attached to the branding. She's doing the interviews, HBO is promoting her with the show, she's actually voicing the main character, etc.

Come on.

Don't most of the main actors do that though? producers/writers rarely do.

Yeah but she could have chosen not to

Aren't the main actors usually contractually obligated too?

True, maybe she didn't have a choice in that part

Nope. You can have it in contract not to do that. Jonah Hill has it now that he no longer will do press junkets or interviews in his contracts when he signs on for films.

Being an EP doesn’t really mean you did much, but it’s enough to get you under fire, especially when you’re the main character.

She's also credited with being a writer. Plus she made Velma into a copy paste of herself. She has more artistic privilege with the show than almost anyone else

He does promote it some but hes a weird case because it creates an association with Always Sunny, that probably wasnt the primary comparison they wanted to invite. He also just might not want to since hes busy.

He doesn’t play the main character. Fred is not even the main character of the original series.

No, pretty sure Mindy would just be blaming the haters for not getting the jokes.

They've had success with her before, and, again, she's putting her name on the product. It's fair that she get the criticism when it comes to the overall production of the show.

I don't think she's getting unfair criticism. If anything, this show should immediately be cancelled by HBO for being the woke garbage that it is.
