| Addison still gets the most screen-time and more storylines than other characters. It was time they would give others something interesting to do. To be honesty, after two seasons there still are characters, that really didn't get any storylines. E.g Sam, who all this time just can't decide if he wants to be with Naomi or not, and that's all about him. Or Pete, who besides maybe two or three episodes didn't really have anything to do. He was just there. Even his storyline with Violet didn't do anything for his character, it was more about her insecurities and about creating more obstacles for Cooper/Charlotte than anything else. Even in the finale both Sam and Pete had just about two or three scenes, in which they managed to tell Naomi and Violet that they love them and it was it for their characters (Violet at least said that she also loves Pete, poor Sam didn't even hear that).
I think it's the problem with this series, the lack of character development. Writers focus only on Addison and they forget about others. And when they finally write a storyline for other characters they completely destroy them, like Violet.
I must admit I was bored through the most of the season. Never ending on again/off again between Charlotte and Cooper and repetitive stuff with Sam and Naomi. Plus Violet's never ending who's daddy drama and Addison with creepy Noah - why does she think that some day he will not do to her the same thing he does to his wife? And I never thought that she would abandon her patient when she needed her. In real life she would probably get sued.
I hope that Shonda will do something in the next season, this show was so much better in season 1 than it is now. |
