Has anyone been keeping up with the season? It started off kind of rough, but these last couple of episodes have been spectacular. I mean, the direction the show is going in a route I never would've expected...but I like it. The one and only thing that still bothers me, however, is Jennifer Hudson's character. It's like she's there just because she's Jennifer Hudson. Her character has had no evolution, no development, and basically no depth other than her "momanger" and "breaking out of her box" issues.
The show is still getting canned, but at least I'm starting to love it again.

I agree. The show has gotten so much better in quality, and the characters are so much more defined. I do agree about the Jennifer Hudson role. I think she was just there to symbolize what Karen can become, nothing else. I felt she didn't need character development as she wasn't a long staying character anyways.
In any case, the direction of the show is so different from what I expected. It's incredible, although I am getting tired of Jimmy's (the arrogant singer) attitude. I get it, you've been hurt, but the fact he's acting like a twat when he's being given chance after chance to prove himself is ridiculous. His gay friend is a cutie though (he has a weird mouth though).
I also really like Ivy, she seems much more relatable and I'm so happy she was cast as Marilyn now. Karen wasn't a strong Marilyn, but Ivy definitely embodies Marilyn Monroe both through her character and attitude -- even her body type is similar!
Sad it looks like it's getting canceled, but I will enjoy it (and the wonderful Angelica Huston) for as long as I can
