I admit to getting hooked on the show, however, if anybody is looking for someone to write characters who have personality disorders, look up the writer for this series. Seriously, I found it difficult to find anyone in the cast of characters to feel sympathy for or to relate to. Later, in the first season, the eldest daughter Was one who -upon hearing more of her backstory- I did feel empathy... And sympathy towards. Also Liam.
The effects of the trauma upon the children, especially was exceptionally captured. Mom, while I felt and suspected all along her to have really been framed, was so obnoxious, selfish, and self-destructive I found myself almost hoping things would not go her way.
I have yet to finish the series - very close - hoping something will change that may alter my no doubt harsh sounding thoughts about the characteristics of most of the characters.
