You're right about all these things, especially the baby.

Regarding your last statement, I'm in the same silly boat (no pun intended).

You've summed everyone up pretty damn well. And I also can't stop watching.

Edited: I don't know what season you're on but as the show progresses, the characters become more and more likable. I think that's a big reason I like the show so much.

I just finished season 4, part 1, and thought it was excellent. At the end it says the final episodes are coming in 2023. So unfortunately it's ending with season 4, part 2, as it's being called.

Well thanks, I'm watching the show right now but had a calling to come here for some reason. I guess the characters improved a little bit, still, traces of who ever wrote these are ever present, like

End of season 3 Cal
"It's OK mom I know what to do now"

Season 4 Cal
Proceeds not knowing what to do

Also season 4 Cal
*coughs blood profusely *
"it's probably nothing"

There were even hints that Mick has feelings for Jarred.... Again??? Seriously what are these deranged people thinking??

[–] jcnyclv (1633) 2 years ago

You got me laughing with this, very good! OK, well, I like the show in spite of the characters' flaws. But hey, if what happened to them happened to me, I might be a little deranged too 🤣🤣

I'm jealous though as I haven't had any callings yet 🙂

Egan was the winner of this show, he even conned God himself at the end.

[–] roger_dat (1678) 2 years ago

Lol is that so? Unless I'm very desperate, I don't think I'll pick up on this again
