1. Nixon doesn't get that this 'teen show' and it storyline should appeal to that aspect. I'm really surprise considering she has worked on BTVS and making these characters act way OOC.

All she has to do is upped the drama and scale back the nonsense. Hopefully the 'gay dad' storyline will lead somewhere because even that was a good moment for this series. Wasn't expecting it.

The character Vanessa is the bonafida 'bitch' 'villian' of teen shows so I'm glad they kept that character. Plus the actress is making the character too over-the-top, IMO.

The on-off again bf storyline is weak sauce. Having Julian be a daddy reveal was alittle too early. I think having Anna trying to move on with another guy is dumb too. Anna should be the focus on enjoying the hollywood and not being a bore.

Finn and Paige have potential with this dad gay story but alone they don't have much to do. They need to developed Finn...badly and they need to quit trying to make Paige obnoxious by covering up her weight issue. That could be a good storyline for teens who aren't skinny and see what a character like themselves is like on tv.

Just my 2 cents to improve the show.

It's PIPER not Paige :)

and all i have to say is, the last two episodes were the only ones this season that honestly genuinely enjoyed :) its quite flawed though...and malcolm david kelley cant act, despite his experience.

MDK haven't been given a chance to act. He gets the least lines outta the whole cast so its really hard to judge. Plus his characteris the least developed too.

Look at it this way. Emma Caulfield is a good actress but you would never know it by looking at the show. I personlly think MDK and Emma could do better than this crap.

The storylines aren't that interesting and Piper, Paige or whatever is the most annoying character on the show. She rambles on and on and still have the same "look surprise" facial expression in every scene. Terrible, unfunny actress.

The show needs better writers and maybe a new showrunner if its going to survive.
