I love the saying, “you can’t trust people, but you can trust them to be themselves”. I think that it was a great show and the acting was brilliant. But for me it lacked character cohesion. They did a fair enough job developing the characters and giving the back stories. The battle that each one of them faces from Ashley‘s lack of medical insurance to Oscar‘s mom passing away, etc. to give some credit I think they did good with Josh’s character. at his core he was good - thats why the buffo scene was so powerful because in the end he was able to reconcile (e.i.sign the divorce papers= cohesive). Lindsey throughout the series shows that she is meticulous and loyal. Austin is this gentle simple minded “Lenny” who loves bees and just wants to be a supportive boyfriend. Ashley is this desperate GenZ who wants to somehow make it out of her $ situation and be a mother and would do anything for her relationship. The chair-woman is coldhearted. And Eunice is timid, but brave when she needs to be. In the end, Joseph turns himself in -cohesive. But Lindsay goes off and marries some other Rando right away which is not cohesive. Austin immediately falls in love with Eunice and then turns his back on her, which doesn’t line up with his cautionary style. Eunice just doesn’t get mentioned again(?). in the end the chair-woman is hugging the grave of her former love which doesn’t align with her cold heartedness. Even the crawling ants got some decent screen time but do they ever tie that together with anything? Essentially the writers were spinning all of these plates and showing how they were going to bring it all together- but in the end, I felt they never did.
