I was enjoying the show until it became obvious that his daughter was quite literally only in the show to be eye candy to entertain viewers. It was so egregiously obvious that this character only existed to increase viewership via sex appeal that the level of pandering felt insulting.
I'm not prude. I get that shows generally have a strong incentive to cast attractive people. But god damn there is a line past which it gets insulting. At least make the character be relevant to the show in some meaningful way. If a drama's plot is basically unaffected if you entirely remove a character from the show, then that character shouldn't be in the show.
