I’ve been watching the show because it was rated super highly by TV critic Alan Sepinwall and the recognition was deserved for the first 14 episodes and then…

Ricky suddenly endured child abuse, Angela and Patty could see a ghost, Jordan and Rayanne slept together, Patty was dragged out of a restaurant and other puzzling choices were made.

The show seem pretty grounded for a teen drama, so all of this was so jarring and I’m wondering if it was a desperate attempt to keep it on the air.
