Mackenzie Mchale
OK, I just finally decided to watch this. As a journalist myself (mostly print, not TV), I avoided the show for years because it sounded extremely annoying. I am on episode 4, and it is proving to be just as annoying as I had imagined -- in fact, even more.
Yes, I know I'm in early days, but, Jesus, this is bad.
Of all the irritating characters, I find Mackenzie to be the absolute worst. There is NO WAY this woman is a hardened conflict journalist who spent years embedded with soldiers in Afghanistan. She is a ridiculous, ditzy, fluttery mess -- she doesn't even seem smart. How the hell she didn't get herself killed as an embed is entirely beyond my understanding.
