Beverly

I'm just watching this now and half way through second series. I get that it's a TV show but if it's based on real life then why wasn't she reported to child services? Maybe things work differently in the US but the police would be checking her hard drive in the UK. She's actually putting me off watching the rest. She messes up every single episode but does the same stuff in the next. It's just weird imo

i have no idea, but i guess the smother trope has been around since sitcoms have existed.

I get smothering your kids but she does the same thing every single episode. Even the kids storylines are the same. Screw each other over and then apologise at the end of the ep, only to do the same thing again in the next. It's boring af

that's just television for ya, stickin' to the formula and hoping you don't get cancelled.
