Just don't care

luke-07489

I was so excited when this show was previewed, but it has totally fallen flat for me. The characters are not realistic or relatable, and I find myself just not caring about any of them or anything that happens. This is partly due to not having a good "flow" of the stories, but I find the biggest problem to be the character inconsistency. Someone like Barb does not ponder whether she is a racist, for one example. Aubrey & Carter don't seem to have any chemistry, and the conversations between Russ and his future daughter-in-law were just ridiculous. I've been a daughter-in-law for a decade and would never, ever start psychoanalyzing my father-in-law in such a way today, let alone the first time I met him! Characters don't have to be likable, but they do have to be believable.

score 2/10
