I like some parts of the show but Sarah character really bothered me, very unlikeable person. 40 yr old woman that won't grow up. She had way tooo many scenes, i found myself forwarding 99 % of her scenes especially with her daughter. Christina (adam's wife) cried practically in every episode, it felt like she would of cried if someone had switch a light bulb on.
