sadly, ive read the books (the whole i-read-one-and-now-i-have-to-read-the-series-even-though-they-are-ridiculous-and-poorly-imagined/written bit) and i think the problem that plagues the storytelling is that the woman who wrote the books off which the show is based seemed completely out of touch with people in the real world, making everything really awkward. then tv people come trying to build off something that largely didnt make sense to begin with…. i think the premise of the larger story is neat but maybe to make the show that should have shook it down to the bare bones and made it in to something that could be a supernatural twist on the reality we are all familiar with, rather than a twist on a reality imagined by a lonely woman who learned how the world works by watching tv and reading sexy romance novels
