The big bang theory is an abomination
I used to think that show was amazing a long time ago.
In terms of production and acting it's not bad. The troubling aspect is the charactisation of the neurodivergent experience, as if it's fun and games for all involved. We're invited to believe that these scientists are blundering through life, oblivious to their dysfunction. The reality is that people like this are much more likely to be isolated and clinically depressed at the very least.
We don't have to imagine a TV show where some other marginalised group is mocked because that material is filed in the historical archive, under the 'unacceptably cruel and bigoted' category.
