While The Conners season 7 has a lot of storylines to keep afloat, the Roseanne spinoff has already secretly set up what could be the show’s greatest tragedy ever in season 6. The Conners’ cast of characters have been through the wringer when it comes to trauma. Although the Roseanne spinoff is ostensibly a family sitcom, The Conners has never shied away from the darker realities of working-class life in modern America. In recent years, The Conners dealt with mass shootings, drug addiction, overdoses, deportation, alcoholism, poverty, unemployment, workplace discrimination, medical debt, and student debt.
