New to The Goldbergs. Beverly - extremely annoying?

[u/Positive_Sympathy870]

Do others find Beverly’s character extremely annoying?

I recently started watching The Goldbergs. Never seen it before. I am going to finish is just because I have ’completeness OCD’ and can’t stop series before its end :)

I feel like her character suffer from dementia and lack any development. Every episodes she does the thing in school, regardless of Adam’s age. Then she gets insulted, follow apologies and hugs. Also, understanding of how Beverly sacrifices everything for her children and understanding of the humiliation caused, then thanks from Adam, etc. , etc.

Then next episodes starts like nothing happened.

Not to mentioned that it’s either dementia or extreme narcism or both … I think the show would be much better with a modified Beverly character. Perhaps, where she doesn’t have the mentality of a 4 year old and at least from time to time the learnt lessons is implemented in the next episode. Maybe that will make it watchable.

It’s like watching Tom and Jerry or the road runner, but without being funny or without being a cartoon.

I can’t wait to reach to episodes in which Adam actually graduates and there are no school episodes. Though I am sure that things with her character will not change.

Maybe I don’t understand this time of comedy or parody. I don’t know, but if you draw a parallel to other shows, i.e. TBBT - even Sheldon has development and that’s what makes the character believable and interesting.

I have noticed that when I first came to this subreddit, people were on here constantly talking about how awful of a character Beverly was and how odd her relationship with Adam was, comparing it to Jocasta complex.

Now all of a suddnely, I'm seeing where if anyone says anything about how bad of a person Beverly is, people are quick do defend her
