But then I read this conversation between George and Kurt: Had it just been Calmes's penchanct for annoyingly perfect characters marring this piece, I could have accepted that, given it a couple stars, and moved on. I don't understand why Calmes thinks these characters are interesting.īut there was a little extra irritant in this story. Everyone, every gender, watches him like he's a steak dinner, and one man mistakes him for a gigolo and won't accept no for an answer because (if you hadn't already guessed) George is p-e-r-f-e-c-t. His bosses, his colleagues, his teenaged charge, and now the good doctor his charge is attempting to set him up with.they all just think he's wonderful. And if you show me someone who appears to be, I'll show you someone who fakes it with everyone. If I were to give her one piece of wisdom it would be that no one is universally liked. I don't know why it's outside of Calmes's skill set to write a believable, relatable character, but I've yet to see her capable of it. So perfect and loved by everyone, yet so humble and self-deprecating. Mostly because every single one of her main characters is a Marty Stu.
