But we tuned in to season 3 right when it was available and were so turned off by the first episode that we are not going to continue. We eagerly waited for season 2 and enjoyed it, for the most part, but some of the plot twists were starting to feel contrived and Charmaine's character was increasingly unbelievable (she has never looked pregnant) not to mention annoying. We really enjoyed season 1 and became invested in the characters. In the books, we connect with characters, we root for them, we get those happy payoffs. Instead, with a continued focus on Mel and Jack, we get an endless supply of contrived drama. If the script writers stuck with that, and moved the story along to focus on different people and issues in progressive seasons, it may have worked better. This came to the screen with a built in fanbase because Carr's books are best sellers. The lead character who could be admired is now just annoying. now we cry and wallow and OMG I am at ep 9 and I think I'll have to skip to the end of the finale because I can't take anymore. now she creates problems, creates unnecessary drama in her relationship, constantly feels sorry for herself - for the same issues she spent season one overcoming - and showing us that yes, you can get up again and make a life and be happy - but no. She was the brave plucky nurse, moving to the small town, opening her heart, making a difference. Is there a contest going on to see which character can be the most annoying? If there is, Mel wins, hands down.
