Rachel Griffiths and Sally Fields were the draw for me to watch this show. Calista was the negative...but despite her, I wanted to see what the show had to offer.
Rachel as the OLDER sister of Calista..pleassee! I loved her on "Six Feet Under" and find that she is underused and her character seems stressed. The fact that she leads the family company seems contrived with what decisions and lack of scenes she has.She is beautiful and is such a character actress, not relying on her beauty. I feel as if Calista is dominating the whole show with her line of suitors. I watch for tidbits that are thrown Rachel's way and it disturbs me her lines are so shallow and family life are secondary to everything else going on.
I think the show could be great if all the story lines didn't come back to Calista's character's views, feelings, love interests and political views. Give us a break and give equal time to the rest of the cast. Calista reminds me of Robin Williams or Jim Carrey giving interviews, too many facial expressions and cute antics!
