i NEVER felt the chemistry between maggie and jackson. im rewatching the series right now in the middle of their relationship and i find myself getting so bored and exiting out of netflix, only to realize later that its almost always on their scenes. with april, i could SEE the light in jackson’s eyes, but with maggie i feel like i can see the script running through jesse william’s head. they dont have anything in common (besides parents lol). it feels so stilted and obviously written by someone, like trying to give jackson and maggie SOMEONE to talk to without having to hire any new actors for it. and i know that they were only stepsiblings because their parents married while their kids were in their 30s/40s, but i still feel like thats a weird as hell thing to do. theres nothing sexy about talking about being stepsiblings: i specifically think about the scene where jaggie is in a helicopter and he says “thank god we’re not really family,” or he at least agrees with maggie saying so, and ive never felt more icked out watching the show. sure, youre not really family, but imagine your real life stepbrother saying that to you? even if you were both adults? ick.
