All of the family members have flaws, as they are real people. I think the show vilifies the parents a bit too much. Yes they are strict, but they have good intentions i think. Have watched about 10 episodes and I find Olivia to be the most interesting character because her flaws are so pronounced. She's self-righteous, pretentious, arrogant, uncaring (doesn't take her husbands feelings into account almost ever) and yet she's completely unaware of any of this. The reason she can't get along with the mother is because they are both super stubborn and strong willed, and put their pride above the happiness of Ethan. Overall the show is watchable but cringeworthy.
