I had to sit with this for a bit. I think I agree with most of the other reviewers that the Jackie character was just so over-the-top E.V.I.L. that it felt cartoonish at times. It was just hit after hit with her character coming up with more ways to be a horrible person and cause issues for everyone around her. It just felt unrealistic after a while and the fact that the main characters' problems ALL stemmed from her involvement in their lives made it less interesting after a while.
