Showdown in the Galaxy Era.

Not to mention a parent in a sports/game media to be supportive and caring but not overbearing while still being flawed..

Yeah, I don't know if this was something this show was doing or just something I was bringing to it, but every dynamic Beth had with an adult made me super uncomfortable. I was waiting for every one of them to exploit or hurt her for the first several episodes.

For Alma, I kept expecting her to go full "lovely stage mom" with it, try to monopolize Beth's money or push her into things she didn't want to do for fame or profit. I also thought Allston, her husband, was some kind of child molester when he was introduced, and I kept waiting for something creepy and awful to happen to Beth at the orphanage in general. So glad I was wrong; I think I've watched way too many serious TV dramas in the last year involving physical or sexual abuse and trauma.
