Daphne's less annoying than at the beginning of the series. Lewie and Beast too.
But look, they are the three youngest in a family of nine, competing with their four much older siblings for attention. They are going to be rowdy and at times crude.
Daphne reminds me a lot of first season Zuri Ross, who loved tiaras and especially tutus, and was sassy as all get out. (OK, she's still sassy, but she's mellowed a lot.)
I predict Ariana Greenblatt (Daphne) will be the breakout performer from this series. She continues to show signs of a very talented performer as she gets older. She reminds me of Francesca Capaldi on Dog With A Blog, who showed quite the range of talent.
(I imagine Ariana in 20 years as an A-list adult actress appearing on The Tonight Show and the host trying to embarrass her with clips from Stuck In The Middle. I hope I live long enough to see it. I'd be 84.)
Yeah, I know filankey is not a word, but it's gonna catch on.
