OMITB is really special and, while I understand that Selena Gomez was likely cast to incorporate her large/younger fan base as viewers, she is ruining this great show!

Martin Short and Steve Martin do the heavy lifting, entertainment-wise, but Selena's severely nasal voice and desert-dry acting is more than terrible... it's extremely distracting and offputting. If not for the magnificent aesthetics of that gorgeous building and the magic of the Short/Martin chemistry, I wouldn't be able to keep watching this show.

My husband and I started watching it together, but Selena's voice was a deal-breaker for him. He does keep trying, due to our love for Martin and Steve, but he can never sit thru any 'Mabel' scenes. I barely get thru them, myself.

I understand the deadpan/moody-youth character she is trying to play, but she is failing miserably. Better examples are Jenna Ortega as Wednesday or Lisa Kudrow as Ursula (Phoebe's twin, on Friends). It's not the character, as many Selena fans would argue, it's Selena. The acting is sub par and dry, her voice is way too nasal, and even her body language is constantly awkward. It also seems like the costume designer is working against her. Most of her looks are either ill-fitting or just hideous.

Short and Martin can/do carry this show on their own. I don't anticipate the showrunners will replace Selena at this late stage, but I do hope they reduce her lines in Season 4 to reduce the cringe-factor a bit.

This show has such charm and true Hollywood showmanship in the more mature members of the cast. While I can appreciate the dynamic of the generation gap between the stars of the show, 'Mabel' is quite immature in the way she responds to "the olds". The writers have her behaving like a moody teen, but she is nearly 30. This was a misstep. I hope they smooth it out in future seasons.

Overall, OMITB is a breath of fresh air amongst the massive quantity of garbage shows that keep showing up. If they stick to the mysteries and the relationship development between the stars vs. Incorporating sociopolitical themes, this show could go the distance (ie: Grace and Frankie)!!!
