Anyone else notice severe writing issues?
I've been watching this show with my mother. Over the last month, we've made it to season 2, episode 13, as I begin to type this. It's on the TV as I type.
Season One started strong, very wonderful. We adored it. A few things were a little predictable, but not bad.
One of the most immediate problems we noticed was that the "Previously...." clips featured scenes that hadn't actually been in the previous episodes, leaving us utterly confused.
Season Two began, and we started noticing things getting worse. The cliches started becoming more obvious. All we see now is relationships and working with adults. There isn't much of Nick being a guardian. And every now and then, something would happen that made us do a double take.
We were able to overlook it until, in episode twelve, the show talked about Lulu having a creepy stalker breaking into her house. They made an abrupt change in direction halfway through the show, ruling out the most obvious culprit with a ridiculous claim which went nowhere, and trying to focus all the attention on a man we hadn't seen for several episodes, which also went nowhere.
Then the episode ended with Brian coming home, and Nick standing his girlfriend up on their date....
And Episode Thirteen, Ambition, started off with "Brian's still in Mexico", and no mention of the stalker, the man they'd been focusing on, nor the girlfriend getting stood up.
There seems to be severe continuity problems in the writing.
Since we're a bit late on this, should we stop now while we're ahead? I've heard it gets worse.
