I liked The Fosters mostly for its portrayal of a family led by two committed, married lesbians, living their lives. The focus was not just about them being gay. I will give Good Trouble kudos for continuing in covering the same types of important social issues and broad diversity of characters as The Fosters did. But Callie and Marianna? They have had zero character growth in 6 plus years of programming. They NEVER learn from their mistakes. They have made one bad decision after another, then when trouble follows, they lie or deploy avoidance/denial tactics. Every time. At the end of the day, all is forgiven and there are never any real consequences for years of bad choices. Success continues to be handed to them in spite of themselves. Surely they can be written as more complex and adult than this, after obtaining law and engineering degrees. I wanted to like this show, but have remained only to support the Alice/Joey storyline.
