I was pleasantly surprised by the first season. I'm only vaguely familiar with Jann Arden's music but decided to give this a shot. The pilot was a bit iffy, but it quickly got better and grew on me. Loved Jann and especially the supporting cast. Whole thing was a lot of fun.
But as others have noted, the second season takes a radically different approach with Jann's character, and ramps up all the worst parts to 11. It's especially noticeable and jarring if you're binge-watching. At the end of season one she's a normal person with good and bad attributes, and at the beginning of the second season she's an obnoxious, self-absorbed jacka$$ who never exhibits any of the charm or warmth she originally had. I'm not sure what happened in the writer's room or why anyone felt this was funny or engaging, but it's neither. Hopefully season three rectifies this since the first season was so enjoyable. But it's not yet on Hulu and the title is expiring soon so not sure I'll ever find out.
