Luckiest Girl Alive did this same story line much better. Like Shane, Luke was the elitely-educated laxer turned finance bro. Both men, as written, would have had their pick of women and I totally bought that Luke would have seen Ani across the room, have been attracted to her confidence and charisma, and would have accepted her lack of privileged upbringing. Not so much Shane and Rachel. Rachel was a bit derpy and boring from a personality perspective. Plus, she didn't have the best hair/makeup/costumes to help me believe Shane saw past the blandness to pure physical attraction either. Each time the show referred to her as hot it felt way more "tell" than "show." So likely a miscast and physical issue.

Of course, there's no way in Luckiest that Ani wouldn't have secured the bag by marrying Luke, but that's a whole different story. Girl wanted to massive ring, husband in finance, and summers in Nantucket too badly.

I didnt' even know this was a debate.....

That's Alexandra Daddario. One of the hottest women on the planet.

PP. Oh I know. And I - like some of the PPs who carried on for about 20 pages - simply disagree. In fact, if you google the actress's name, one of the first suggested posted is "...is overrated."

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.

I imagine they were talking about her acting, not her looks. Although I think she is a good actress, but it makes more sense that they’d be debating that than her looks. I mean, c’mon.

I think she’s pretty but I’m not stupid enough to think everyone thinks that.

NP. The debate about her is about her acting. And the anti- group not only agree that she's beautiful, but it adds to their claim that she is put in roles she doesn't deserve.

Full stop.

Armond kind of reminds me of Lalo Salamanca from Better Call Saul. Clean cut, nice suits, the mustache, dapper and charming, but with a significant dark undercurrent and twisted way of getting what he wants.

I do not like Rachel. She’s playing the victim like her marriage happened to her, but she was a willing participant in marrying this man and his family. She already knew what they were like before marrying him, so I’m not understanding why she’s acting so surprised about his actions during their honeymoon. She is so beyond annoying.

Quinn is one of the most annoying characters on the show. Is he part midget? He has tiny short arms, like a T rex. He always acts stoned and clueless, highly immature. He looks like a 20-something yr old midget but acts like he’s 5. He is so gross to me.

Lol

Pretty sure the nasty sister said multiple times he has aspergers / autism. Hence the noise cancellation headphones and immaturity.

I just started watching this series. I loved Season 1. I’m nearing the end of Season 2 - it’s a little slow compared to the first season. I’m hooked though and want to keep watching!
