I don't know, I think I barely have started watching it a week ago so I might just as well finish it within a month too, hahaha. In fact, I think I would enjoy the soap-opera elements of the show as long as the dark humour is still kept intact. So far, it is. <3 I love Ruth too! Hahaha, all of them are such bad people, but I love that. XXXD What makes Brenda the most horrible person, I wonder... Well, perhaps it's because there is nothing redeeming about her except that she loves Nate pretty deeply. Her actress always has this painful expression on her face that makes me feel pain too, and somehow I don't even mind her being stereotypical. The horrible thing about her is that she is an egoistic bitch (as are most other characters in the show) and a pseudo-Freud at the same time. I really cannot stand her way of dealing with her relationships and her life at all, that's it I guess. Also, the other characters aren't that stereotypical either: Claire is not really emo (in fact, she is only artsy but she never dressed black and pretends she's suicidal), Nate is pretty much the most normal character after Ruth and isn't all that bad, he just ran away from life a little and did nothing. Perhaps David is a little stereotypical, but he's quite evil in his relationships too, that and his latent humour make up for being a closet gay. :3 So, every character is better than Brenda! XD Hahaha, I knew that somebody would comment on this posting without saying one single word about “Atonement”, lol.

XXXD Exactly one year ago I marathoned the whole series in the course of... one month. But be prepared: It becomes worse and worse, more unrealistic and more soap-opera-like, but you just have to watch until the end because of the characters. (Ruth! <3) Well, sometimes I wanted to kill them all though. So why don't you like Brenda? I love her actress and of course she's steretypical in every sense, but all the characters are (ex-bad-boy, closet gay, artsy emo teeny, blabla). I think the show doesn't even fail in giving Brenda the "mysterious" attribute. ZOMGF, you fell for Six Feet Under?! XXXD
