You say we'll have to agree to disagree and proceed to tell me all the ways I'm wrong.
I realize it's not a documentary but it has to make sense in its own world. Don't tell me a character is poor then have them live in a nice house and fall bassackwards into success. The show is saying one thing but showing another.
The writing strikes me as someone watched a couple of episodes of Dawson's Creek and said hey, I can do that.
Again, I enjoy the show but it's a bit silly.
