The show has made some waves, receiving criticism for a few of its jokes, including jabs at citizens of Newark, Westport’s real-life neighboring town. The show’s humor also relies heavily on stereotypes, although not the ones you would expect. Katie, for instance, often refers to her obnoxiously athletic neighbor as “Two-Fitbit Lady.”

In general, Katie sees herself as surrounded by rich and beautiful people who live perfect lives in perfect homes. She fights to find pride in her quirky family and is learning to be OK with their imperfections.

Running almost exclusively on Proctor’s case notes and the help of an exfederal agent (Law), Stephanie will see how close her grief and anger can get her to the truth.
