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

She is loosely based off of the real Beverly, but the character is way more extreme in the show for entertainment purposes

It's crazy how some people cannot separate reality from television. It's for entertainment purposes and they assume you have a grasp on it not being real life. I realize UK humor is different but it's not so different the average Brit wouldn't understand it's not an exact mirror of real life. OP is just special.
