Hi! I'm not sure how long a character has to be on a show before qualifying, for Mrs. Devine was introduced this past January. As well, FB hasn't been cancelled yet. But she's definitely a Creator's Pet, in that we're constantly told how quirky-delightful and promising-sleuth she is...but she's not either of those. She's racked up three major investigative, utterly unnecessary mistakes already that could have gotten her and other characters killed or worse. (Her ridiculous "undercover work" in the season finale alone squarely puts her in the "Too Dumb To Live" department.) And if this season is any indication, she's going to be carrying even more of a dramatic load in S11 that's she's not even up to meeting. As well, any number of IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, Amazon, and Facebook reviewers have noted her ineptitude/lack of credibility is one of the main reasons for the show's precipitous decline. So with a track record like that, does she qualify? (Heck, I can think of at least three other categories alone she fits in. 🤣)Thanks!
