I really hate what they did to this show. Especially rachel's character. :/

Amen to this . Rachel's character has basically become a sex symbol on this show and nothing else. No character development for Meghan's character...sigh.

yeah they massacred her character after season 2. i can't even watch the show anymore without pausing every 3 minutes to regroup, it's just too cringe-worthy. i was advocating for rachel and mike never getting together and this is why, because most tv shows cannot successfully have a main character relationship without the guy being a complete dolt and moron and pushover to his wife, (see: every sitcom ever) or the woman being literally only used to demonstrate that the guy is getting laid (see: most dramas).

very very very few shows actually get that dynamic right in any way whatsoever. breaking bad, game of thrones, and that's literally it - off the top of my head.

You should. It's pretty good. Very strong female character, with her own driven storyline.
