Now I remember why I dropped this show right after finishing season one a couple of years ago!
Season 2 got me back in now but they screwed up with season 3 . . .
This show can't really take a direction and stick with it! If you wanna be a silly comedy then do it, but if you wanna make a smart emotional comedy then you have to stop the silly episodes! Every once in a while they make an sappy monologue and no substance and some simple people just eat it up and think it was a great episode!
Yeah Bean's monologues would make some sense if she wasn't one of the most self obsessed and terrible human beings in the whole show! I mean literally 10 second before starting her monologue she left Elfo in the middle of talking about how hurt he is! She's done that so many times it her signature move now!
Bean is a selfish, irresponsible, alcoholic, good for nothing human being and there's nothing wrong with that, it makes a great comedy but they just keep shifting gears and try to make us feel bad for her. By all logic, she's the rich kid who takes nothing seriously, hurts anyone as long as she gets what she wants, and constantly screws up while never ever ever taking any kind of responsibility. How am I supposed to feel bad for her? Are her actions acceptable just cuz she's a woman, or just cuz she might be gay(according to this episode they might want to flip her sexuality since that's what a lot of shows do about their female).
Honestly I wouldn't care about any of the terrible things she's done just like I don't care about any of the terrible things Homer Simpson has done but they just keep trying to make her sympathetic despise all of her actions! This is a pretty terrible character development, instead of actual growth, they just make a bunch of tropes and monologues and traits and expect us to feel for her "Pain"?! There are so many shows with much more horrible behaving characters that actually manage to create an emotional connection though proper growth and development, in those shows most of the terrible characters admit they are horrible people and they don't deserve to be happy but Bean is only interested in playing the role of "eternal victim" that doesn't deserve what she's got even with all the terrible things she's done.
