A great show whose major flaw is its characters are hopelessly gullible and unbelievably trusting of obvious liars, cheaters, and criminals. A guy could do drugs, shoot
people, rob banks, and yet as long as he talks about his feelings with Merissa, she will trust him completely and assume him to be genuine. Ryan could see a guy doing drugs, shooting
people, robbing banks, and talking to Merissa about her feelings, yet not do a thing because the idiot
girl tells him that she trusts that guy.
