I just wanted to give her a hug. I get that they're trying to play up Ivy's bitchiness but I feel like Karen is being forced on us, like we have to root for her because she's the underdog....but..Ivy is fantastic. And being a little bit of a bitch isn't always a bad thing. Especially when it's something that can be needed at times. (like proving to people you're just as good as your tony award winning mother)
I'm so over them trying to shove Karen down our throats. If they'd cast someone as Karen who could feasibly play Marilyn, that'd be one thing. But Karen is so wrong for the part that it's just laughable.
A friend of mine suggested that Mandy Moore should've been cast as Karen. I, personally, totally agree.
