I am sticking with this show because there is a lot of heart in it and I want to see what happens. They have a lot of great information and the end of each episode and take care to acknowledge and represent many different cultures, genders and practices. However, the character of Maria is so unbelievably insufferably awful, and so one dimensional that there is nothing to root for. Unless there is some kind of redemption arch or vulnerability there, the writers really did that character wrong.
