My thoughts on what Hater’s Back Off Should Have Been

It is well known that Hater's Back Off is a bad show, and looking back, in my opinion, it definitely is not something that should've been accessible to kids. I don't have a problem with weird or humor that is directed at an older audience, but there's a time and place. In my opinion, the entire concept of the show is bad. Miranda, when viewed as a horrible singer, is kinda funny - I do theater and enjoy musicals, and a character that acts like obsessed with themselves is an entertaining concept. I think, honestly one of the problems of the character is that Colleen kept dumbing her down to the point where Miranda became over the top. Kind of like Cat on Nickeloden. It just becomes ridiculous at some point.

A better concept, in my opinion, would have been to focus the show on Colleen creating the character of Miranda. The show could have been about someone who is artistic and creative and wants to make it in the entertainment world. She watches other people around her and mimics their behavior and thus creates a character and decides to share it with the world. She deals with the backlash and confusion from her character. Once the character goes viral, we see her adapt to fame. It could include mental health struggles (kinda like what Hater's Back Off tried to do) and focus on the creative aspect of the character instead of setting it in a universe where Miranda is actually a real person.

I myself turn to writing as a way of self-expression, and I have taken inspiration from things that I have witnessed/lived through. This could have been a focal point in Hater's Back Off that would have been cool to see.

I honestly don't know if that would make a good show, but I feel like I'd enjoy it. If anyone has any other ideas on what Hater's Back Off could have been, let me know! I am very curious.
