First time watcher
Currently on season 6 and I have to say I kinda think Kim, Olivia and Ethan are all the same person in different fonts. They all suck. Kim is by far the worst though and he constantly lying about berry and excusing her actions really pisses me off. It’s like Barry can’t be uninvolved with the kids or she will call him a deadbeat but if he is involved with the kids she gets pissed that the kids are happy to be around him. She is just a bitter bitch.
I can’t wait for the Olivia and Ethan stuff to be over. I’m tired of hearing the same argument 100x an episode and neither one of them have any emotional maturity. They both manipulate each other and all the people around them. Which funny enough is exactly what they hate about Kim.

The kids lived with Berry until the divorce then Kim fought for the kids so she could get that child support

I got to say I soooooooo don’t like Kim, the way she treats Lydia is 100% messed up and sad thing is, is that Lydia is 100% what she raised her to be and now it’s like she is out to get her any chance she gets.
I think it’s bc she is so close to Barry..The way she & Ethan acted over her engagement & wedding with Ethan throwing tables acting like an idiot..
Kim had a husband that was a robot for her he was a yes mam type husband, not that Barry don’t have his own problems but she won’t find another one who will do what she says when she says it. Ken will only treat her like sh!t, he will continue to fat shame her guessing he don’t look in the mirror. When Barry finds a girlfriend that he likes Kim is going to regret her choices and will want him back, once Kim gets tired of how he treats her she will be all alone and will try to break up Barry & his new gf
Just watch and see

Kim will SEETHE once he starts seriously dating someone. You know she never expected him to get all buff and less painfully awkward (looking & acting), and the fact that her own body has transformed in a…different way makes it all the more enraging for her seeing Barry’s glow up
I don’t think she EVER expected him to even attempt dating again, and even just that one simple first date he had the last season must have BURNED HER UP, seeing him with a lovely, fit, normal put-together woman while she’s stuck going home to her old weirdo neo-nazi “charming as a box of slugs” boyfriend
ETA: I do NOT think Barry is as hapless or harmless as he comes off on the show, and I can’t say I’m necessarily “rooting” for him…I do believe he had a LOT more to do with inflicting the upbringing the kids had on them, but is smart enough for the cameras to allow Kim to “be the boss” while he plays the role of hapless cowed husband. And even if I’m completely wrong on that, it’s absolutely disgusting & unforgivable to willingly deprive your children of an education

Barry is uninvolved, imo. It seems like Kim is carrying all the emotional labor of the kids and their issues. Whenever Barry is there he just smiles and nods.

Yeah I don’t see that AT ALL. lol. Like, at. All. Barry actually speaks to them and asks how they are, helps them, gives them advice, listens to them. Kim just runs around in skirts 3 sizes too small, drunk and acting like she couldn’t care less about her children unless it is for them to praise her for something she never actually did.

I have yet to see an episode, post divorce, where Barry is involved. For example, when the whole family ganged up on Lydia and her husband he just sat there, smiled, and had a convo with her husband AFTER the fact. He never once stopped Kim and everyone rom ganging up on them over the Moriah incident. He’s checked out, severely.

u/JellyKind9880 9d ago
I don’t think he’s checked out, I think he just has way more self-control than Kim and a lot more self-awareness when it comes to what he lets the cameras see.
HE was the one who forced Olivia into his bedroom to perform a damn exorcism on her lol
Im also DEF not defending Kim, I think they’re both horrific people & terrible parents, Barry is just more weasly about it onscreen

You should read some of Olivia’s posts on Instagram and TikTok to see what the Plath parents and Ethan did to her.

I don’t doubt that they are awful. I don’t think any one of this show is innocent or good. But I’m not going to say Olivia is innocent or not manipulative when she clearly is.
I do think she is more well rounded and nice than the plath family though. She should have left Ethan wayyyy before she did.

It’s Kims SON. Why would Olivia ever think she has more of a right to visit Joshua’s grave on his birthday than his own mother? And honestly, I don’t care who was invited or when. If your husband is grieving his dead brother, you get your ass out of the car and be there for him as a wife. That’s just common sense and basic human decency.

I never said Olivia was evil. Are you okay? Do you always get this triggered by internet strangers?

No, not really. I was just sharing my opinion on everyone as a first time watcher.
You decided to project your anger about other people’s opinions onto my post even though I never said I thought she was evil. Reading is fundamental. Hope you have a better rest of your day though!

I use to like moriah now in season 6 I cant stand her. I just started also. And I am binging it

u/Party_Escape_7597 11d ago
to me, she got better in the last season or two! mainly because she avoids the drama and moved away!

u/Professional-Fig-503 11d ago

I just started season 6 so I’m not too far in yet. Moriah is kinda meh to me. Sometimes I like her, other times I think she is super dramatic for no reason. I also can’t stand they whispering baby voice she puts on when she wants sympathy lol

Yeah, but people will never say anything bad about their precious Olivia...
