    What's the point of having a superb actress if you are going to tie her hands every step of the way with sloppy production and "directors" that couldn't care less about anything beyond collecting their paychecks ? She can save N ridiculous screenplay blunders but she can't save the whole show - unless they let her produce and direct as well :-)))))Seriously - very simple example - you can't "have" a blonde with heavy black eyebrows. It's a visual dagger in viewer's eyes. Yeah it takes some time and some thinking but a "small detail" like that had to be on the table from the day one - and then there would be Emmy's. There's quite a number of completely ridiculous production / "direction" misses like that.You don't get the next Tatiana Maslany if you don't do your homework on the production and direction side of the equation. Better give Inbar Lavi to do a monodrama if production really has to be so incompetent. She can do it - just give her some props :-) And not to leave it just on her shoulders - Rachel Skarsten did superb miniature - again to no avial when faced with incompetent production.

    Kind of what you would expect from a Bravo scripted series. It's filled with terribly implausible actions and all flat one note characters, however it is light-hearted and breezy viewing when you don't want to be too stimulated. If you go into this not expecting too much, looking to kill some time and not over think it, you'll probably enjoy it, at least the first season. Unfortunately things take a turn in the second, the plot falls apart and the not so stellar acting by some of the cast becomes too over the top to ignore. For instance Ezra is not selling his new found confidence and it's almost painful to watch him deliver some lines. The character worked with the writing in the first season but the second one he just could not pull off and it made the poor writing even more evident. I'm sure if the writing was different he probably could have done a better job but ultimately the combo of the two was distracting and not very enjoyable. Inbar Lavi (Maddie) was also particularly an issue, she was not selling her arc this year, where as I mostly enjoyed her at the first go around. She doesn't make you believe her characters motivations and came off extremely flat. Also after two seasons usually you're a little more sympathetic towards a character like hers but they haven't given the audience any reason to really care what happens to her and her time on screen solo was a snooze. I thought the actors that play Jules & Richard did a good job and Uma Thurman was fun but the second season unfortunately didn't live up to the first.

    While the super heroes are getting really old, this is a nice refreshing, engaging show. Good actors, great story line. Wish they would have more like this!

    Irrational plot line, flat characters, so 2017. Not a single likable character. The three idiots I definitely don't feel sorry for. Long and pointless arguments about "code". Illogical reactions of characters., did I mention irrational plots? So, we need a lawyer (at this point, I considered it not worth the effort to think about "why?" anymore), how to find out but to con yourself into a gentlemens' club and, well, look for one there. Google or a phone book would be too easy, right. Sometimes it seemed as if the plot had been written by a 5 year old. Really, really dumb.
