Season 1 was amazing. Season 2 was a mixed bag but I mostly enjoyed it. Season 3 is getting unwatchable for me.
It's weird, I still do love the main characters, but something happened when Shy Baldwin came on the scene. It's not the same. He was great for a foil for her success, but as a main character it feels very forced and now there's just too many side stories. What happened to Ben? She just drops him like a hot potato, and boom he's gone... I feel like watching Season 2 was a waste of time.
And I must agree with many other reviewers, she's an awful mother. Her son is disturbing to watch, I feel so sorry for the kid. She truly doesn't give a crap about him!
Sure, it's a shallow show, it's fun, colorful, and frenetic, I get that. It feels like a silly Broadway show at times. But when the serious stuff gets shoved in, it feels wrong. Season 3 is a mess. Characters acting out of character, new characters and side storylines are annoying (the beatnicks, ugh). When it's not funny, it's hard to forgive the glaring inconsistencies. I think this show needs to decide what it wants to be, and make a commitment to who the main characters are and stick with them, let them grow but don't make them do stuff the person in Season 1 would NEVER do (Abe opening his home to those weirdos, the Mom giving up her inheritance..nope)
So yeah, unless nothing else is on, I'm done. It was fun while it lasted!
