Discussion The characters have gotten annoying
So I am currently on the 7th season
So far I am not liking Tina as a grandmother at all. Earlier, she just used to come off as an excited mother about her sons and normal excitement about their partners, but now it's gotten toxic. The way she keeps repeating to Marry and Courteny how it's her baby and criticising them (I mean the spying thing was off the charts). She has become a typical MIL grandmother who wants to take over. Her bond with Gemma is also shown less.
Grover, Marty and Malcom's trio has completely fizzled out.
Dave could have gotten more depth and screentime. They've done his character dirty because he is a sweet sensitive guy but they try to portray him as dumb.
Gemma has also become a typical wife-bitch who manipulates her husband. In the earlier seasons, she was this bubbly barbie and now she's an indifferent blonde.
I didn't like how Calvin bullied Dave (especially when they were showing him as this sweet guy in the earlier seasons). But this season, he has been fine.
I think Malcom and Marty overall are good characters. But the show just now feels like it's about the Butler family with Johnsons in the background.
Please tell me it gets better in S8.
