This series is really suffering from mid-season bloat. We get the idea.
Whitney is a privileged white girl who sees herself as an artist, eco-warrior, friend of the downtrodden, deliriously woke in every way. And of course oblivious to her own baloney.
Doug is a sad character suppressing deep unhappiness and guilt, and more or less subconsciously trying to steal Whitney away from Asher, like he would be an improvement. Lateral move at best.
Asher is probably a decent guy, if you dig down far enough, but he is so panic-stricken about keeping up with Whitney in all her inane pretensions, that he's becoming an even bigger neurotic headcase.
The little girl isn't creating the curse. These people are cursing themselves. Although it's intriguing to think she may be psychic. Too bad she's too young to sneak into a casino...
Oh well, we're moving into the final part of the season so no doubt things will start to pick up.
