Spoilers ahead - how old is this show? I didn’t use spoiler boxes because I think it’s been out for awhile. So, I really liked Season 1, and Season 2 was OK, but Season 3 is…meh. I really hate the storyline about Michael and the baby. At least, I hate what Patty is doing to them. In the episode I’m watching right now, Patty is planning to put Michael’s baby mama in prison. Here’s my question: does that really happen? Does she really put her in prison? Does she stay there? Patty is becoming a caricature of herself. Seriously? Ridiculous. ---

Just gonna bump this once in case anyone has watched all five seasons and can tell me about this part. I just hate bad/sad stuff with kids. I wish they would have left this part out. ---

The mother takes the payoff to get out of Michael’s life.
