The mother is actually quite human, not particularly annoying at all, but she shows up out of nowhere and stays for FIVE EPISODES (or six? I lost count). Solely to force the main characters to stay in the same room. I found her innensely grating and was begging her to leave pretty quick. Literally just started skipping when she appeared, even for important scenes, bexause she felt not only extraneous, but irritating because e v e r y t h i n g in this show DRAGS on for wayy to long. Not scene wise but definitely plotwise.

Everything is going well and everyone is mature even in their childishness and then the ex shows up and we're four, freshly in preschool again, unable to FUCKING COMMUNICATE. I lasted two episodes, which is way longer than I shouldve given it considering how egregiously my time was disrespected the moment the ex showed up. Both main characters ditched the personalities they spent the last eight episodds building and went out of character. I went ahead and spoiled the end for myself and it only made me angrier because the ex plotline is entirely unnecessary. So much potential ruined by a bs, fake, unnecessary, forced cobflict yet again.

Also that 'I do, I do,' song makes me want to surgically extract my eardrums, destroy them, and burn the pieces. For me, this isnt worth a first watch, let alone a rewatch.
