This is definitely a character-driven ensemble show, and you either like the characters, or you don't.
The interactions between the characters are outstandingly well-written, too numerous to mention. Just one example: the complicated, support/fight relationship between Jordan and her father, which rings so true.
My only negative comment is about some of the plotlines, which take contrivance to a new low. Just for an example, **spoiler**, a producer offers to make two assistants in the ME's office stars of their own TV show; a week later, the show is on the air. Even I know it takes a lot more than a week to start a TV show; heck, it takes a community theater group months to set up a one-act play (I speak from experience).
But it's still a damned good show, and the writers have created a believable, enjoyable group of characters. It ain't Ibsen, Thank God, but it's pretty darned good.
