Elliot and Portia are interchangeable for me, and originally I thought they were twins. They are both narcissistic.
I disagree with this. Yes, Portia has an ego (what actress doesn't?), but she's basically a good and caring person who's looking for validation and love, especially from her awful mother. The pivotal scene in that relationship is when Portia tells her mother she was fired from her show.
Meanwhile, Elliot is much closer to the true definition of a narcissist - or maybe he's just a selfish douchebag. He's a decent friend to Dory and Portia, but he treats his on-again/off-again boyfriend like crap, he's a liar, and is extremely wrapped up in superficiality and boosting his own image.
There is a lot to like with this show, but the ending left me feeling some type of way. I get what the creators were going for, and I think they almost succeeded. But in the end, I was left feeling unsatisfied.
