And it's getting funnier by the episode, and of course the lack of a laugh track is so refreshing. The show tries hard at realism sometimes and lapses inexplicably at other times, which is fine since being too real would shut out the humor. Many of the problems that are supposedly the result of being in a big family are also experienced by smaller families with less money. These characters don't, and, importantly, it's depicted as _normal_ and goes by as a part of life, without undue angst. On most other shows, even characters who supposedly aren't rich seem to have everything they want all the time. The family isn't strictly poor, but it is limited in a way that rarely gets on TV.
Cerina Vincent is good too in what needs to remain the second most important role. Jenna Ortega isn't perfect, but she more than carries the show and pours her heart into every moment. She's just 13 after all, and wouldn't have any lessons to learn if she started out as an angel. The fact that she's a conniving liar no longer bothers me but adds to the fun, especially since she frequently loses at the end. It's this above all that the writers need to sustain throughout the life of the series. Harley's brain blazes white-hot energy throughout in a wide variety of ways, and it's such an inspiration.
After the fourth episode i'm finally all in on this show.
