And thus, this show is soulless. Conflict happens for the sake of conflict. Let's use an example; after an episode of the heroine trying to decide whether she should stay with her own boyfriend or cheat on him with her friend's boyfriend. After a lot of soul-searching and realizing that the other guy is a jerk, she decides to stay with her boyfriend. Then, in the last few minutes of the episode, she has an acid trip of a talking donut that spouts a few cliches about hedonism, at which point she throws out any sort of character development she had in the episode and boffs the other guy because a hallucination told her to. That's how this story goes: any development falls apart right away because if the characters actually did grow, they'd stop making themselves miserable.
At other times, the plot is driven entirely by character's stupidity. The heroine finds out that she has a parasitic twin (incorrectly referred to as a teratoma) and the local preacher for no particular reason decides that this means she's possessed by a demon, even though that's not how biology or theology works. And every character in the show takes this idea completely seriously. The Priest who showed up at the end and finally put an end to that nonsense became my favorite character, and he had about two minutes of screen time.
And then one of the other characters decides based on that situation that he should cheat on his wife with some guy he hates, even though his marriage is on the rocks and he'd just reaffirmed earlier how much he loves his wife. See what I mean about bad decisions?
