What were they thinking by creating such an utterly unlikeable character in Bess? She is moody and mean and lacks all self-confidence. We have no idea why she is completely self-sabotaging and pushes all the kind people away from her. Rule number one of making it in the music business: you MUST believe in yourself if you expect anyone to believe in you. Excruciating 9 episodes. So disappointing! The songs are terrific so just listen to the album and skip the show.
