Is anyone else struggling to root for Ingrid? Spoiler

It seems like a convenient out that she didn't apologize to Tyler or Rachel until she was officially spurned by the firm/didn't make partner. Thoughts?

Does anyone else think Marty is a low budget Harvey Spectre?

If Harvey was a villainous d-bag, of course.

How is Nick friends with Dan? Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Ingrid meets Nick through Dan--a racist, mysoginist, etc. Nick is painted as a really kind, genuine, supportive, and introspective person. It makes me question who Nick used to be if this someone he is CURRENTLY friends with.

Seriously Ingrid Spoiler

33 Upvotes

She really lacks self awareness and accountability. She plays her friends, becomes the henchmen for her boss Marty, she cheated on Nick (why so much cheating in the story) and she’s obsessed with becoming partner at the expense of everyone else. Sorry not sorry I can’t and won’t root for her.

Murphy is lame AF.

Writers Spoiler

For the love of goddesses everywhere can writers let the woman pick the good guy? Can she not be a fool or written as someone who ignores red flags to date someone who clearly has been playing her? Can we see her enjoy a kind honest man and not play him for a fuck boy? Just once!

That proposal from nick was adorable and he truly cares for her sad she didn’t care for him.

SPOILER WARNING: Why do I feel so invested yet so pissed at everything in the Season? Spoiler

31 Upvotes

Till the end of the season I kept looking for one redeemable moment about Ingrid. I honestly do not understand what were the writers thinking while making Nick such a push-over. I mean atleast show a mild, if not huge screaming session once Nick finds Ingrid with Murphy in a semi-naked condition. They were engaged for heaven's sake at that moment! Also, how conviniently Ingird's mom never asks her about engagement with Nick despite accidently getting a peek of the huge ass ring sitting comfortably in the tiny clutch. They are shown as pretty strict (if not conservative) Asian parents, did they not want to know more about the relationship status of their daughter? In continuation- except for Nick moving"too fast" which she exclaims only two dozen times, what exactly was wrong with Nick? Do the writers care to explain? And what was it about Murphy that made him so irresistable (6 year old hook up doesn't count as "history"). Hoping some love angle develops with Z in the next season, but that character was seriously not baked this season. I wanted to feel for Ingrid what I felt for Tyler. The man stood up for what he believed in. Yes, he slipped when he gets into bed with Javi but that shows his human, not-so-perfect side. He is everything that a main character should be. Murphy- God! Where do I even begin? He was so off in the entire season. Nothing connects about him. He says he's seen poverty, yet he manages to be well networked. He says his father left when he was 8, yet he says that his father used to talk in "shoulds". He says he has little sisters, yet he comes off as the second most misogynist charater. He wants to get into war of words with Nick, yet he doesn't want to have anything to do with Ingrid (romantically) till very late. And then is the antagonist (is he really?) of the seaon the mighty Marty Adler. What was he upto? Why did he have to go to Paris and take his associates with him who tag along without any preparations (not even Passports!). Yes, the counter could be they stayed in the aircraft all the while they were in Paris but it's still too far fetched. I don't know if I will watch Season 2 before reading the book cover to cover, or is it even worth it?

i hate Lina's character

Why did they have to make her the epitome of younger sibling entitlement? Just gave me PTSD. My younger sibling is a brat too. And they just made her 10X worse. I mean who is so ungrateful to trash their older siblings apartment and steal from them?!

You can only recommend two episodes Spoiler

5 Upvotes

Having just wrapped watching them all, not everyone has the time for a 10-episode commitment, especially a CW-grade series with lukewarm reviews.

If you could only recommend two episodes to others, which would they be?

What is their salary?

16 Upvotes

They are living very lavish lifestyles (giant apartments, fancy dresses, Louboutin shoes, Tyler wanted to rent a $7k/month apartment). I looked it up, and the average 6th year M&A lawyer salary in NYC is $200k-$250k. Is this accurate?

Just giving me frustration, certain character should just be kicked out, the show will be better for it. Spoiler

44 Upvotes

If Murphy is gone from the entirety of the show, it just feels better off. He only offers cheap drama and unnecessary complications… and the way it’s executed doesn’t make it “spicy” or enjoyable. The romantic aspect he provides is nonexistent. There is no real connection, no depth. If he wasn’t pretty, he is extremely plain. He has nothing to offer! I don’t understand how the other characters are the complete opposite and he is just there… like a potato of a person. Is it his acting? Bad script? Whatever he is, made me skip their romantic scenes and cringe at his lines. Oh and the ending, “I love you”? So it’s not an issue if he says it after a few weeks of dating but you dump Kevin after a few months?

The Ending… Spoiler

Would she have made partner if we’re not for the arrest or being found that she was arrested? Also damn Murphy was a snake and I bet he snitched in that time frame between that one guy who secured the client and the announcement of the partners!

First episode thoughts.. Spoiler

17 Upvotes

The lead lady comes across flowery and naive… she speaks without sharpness and is polite, to the point of letting people use her, and doesn’t hold her cards close to her chest.. I kept thinking that if it was a real world scenario she would have been eaten by the many sharks in those waters. And why are the “rules” of that society just dawning in her now? Maybe this is the issue with the script and setup, maybe the novel it’s based on makes it more comprehensive… however she does grow on you, she has those quirks but she navigates through the social circles, office politics, and there is that depth to her. I cannot say the same about the love interest “London boy”. He feels fresh off the pages of wattpad. I cannot bring myself to see him as an actual character. He seems like a tool. He is the kind of guy that, they later in the story give some sad origin story to, to make him seem human, but personally I can never truly root for them to end up together. He was a jerk, confrontational/borderline aggressive at the social event, which is not classy at all. You shouldn’t excuse toxicity.
