Other than the weird dialog the part that bothers me most is how passive the adult women are. If you're alone in the world, why would you not work harder toward what makes you happy? I can see with the younger woman some of the whole, I got tired of partying and now I'm lost. Yeah, and? Pick a direction. I don't have a lot of sympathy for these women and I feel like they want me too, and making some dude die and give the wrong person the house and land isn't the way to do it.
Now, I do have sympathy for the younger girl Boo, and I think I might love to hate that nasty one, but so far I'm just turned off and eye-rolling the whole thing.
YES Rex and what's her face. I keep trying to tell myself it isn't her, it's both of them, but it *is* more her, and she's not a nice person to *anyone* but the prima ballerina and she's just generally awful all the way around. Add in the Rex stuff and she's nearly evil. I hate how they treat the youngest dancer, she seems genuinely nice and god knows, when you have the talent, you have it and there's not anything you can do to be lesser, and why would she want to other than to make the older dancers nicer to her? UGH.
Political Animals has tons of possibility. Longmire does too if it would just let the women speak to each other!
