I couldn't work out for the longest time why after midway through season 2 I went from loving this show to near hating it but then it dawned on me, the episodes were getting Wendy heavy and she was in nearly every scene, the episode with her and the priest was the absolute worst. I hate everything about the character, her motives, her constant hypocrisy and the fact she's a disloyal narcissist who's just an imbecile. I get it's not cool to hate ion strong women but Helen and Ruth are great although helens logic with Marty was completely flawed with the warrant as technically his actions stoped the deal which would've prevented said warrant. Everything about Wendy is rotten, as a person as a partner and a mother.
But I'm on board for badasses, women who are ruthless so writing alone doesn't anger me, the performance though is just atrocious the constant moronic smile and dumb mannerisms mixed with the awful delivery of key lines just make her painful to watch. There's 5 of us who watch who all feel the same yet never watch the show together, theres never a moment to warm to her, as the character and actor are just bad. If it wasn't for the excellent Ruth and Marty I'd completely give up, the rest of the cast are great except the KC mob boss who's just weak.
My hope is she gets killed off and or fades back to the background as she is single handedly destroying a great show
