I never watched it until now—great show. All these characters and themes are treated so well. Really excellent.

I'm so conflicted between enjoying the characterization a lot and the writing mostly, and finding the politics nearly unbearable
That's fair!! I am mostly watching for the writing quality, esp. to understand what so many screenwriters are talking about when they say they took inspiration from this show
You can easily see how Joss Whedon types took the wrong lesson from its success--emphasizing the tempo of dialogue but missing that in WW the tempo is an emergent property of remarkably efficient character work
