8/10
Close Enough isn't off to the best start, but I am willing to give the rest of Season 1 a chance since we have 16 episodes to watch.

Quilty Pleasures was not that great. I do not like Mr. Campbell's misleading reverse grading systems of what As and Fs stand for, I had no idea what sort of creatures the street urchin kids really were after they quickly turned old overnight, and I am surprised Mr. Campbell, a kindergarten teacher, approved Candice's naked quilt drawing of her family. To me and I assume, also to Josh and Emily, it didn't feel right to hear Mr. Campbell commend them for letting Candice do her own art project when he did not know they spent all night going somewhere else to make Candice's quilt. The Perfect House is yes better because it really spoke to how difficult Emily and Josh's living situation is. When Bridgette and Alex were screwing around with body paint and newspapers, and making a mess of their house, Emily liked visiting open houses to think about a life she could have away from them, and Josh bought a family bike to give them something to do together as a family. I think The Perfect House was like WandaVision a year before WandaVision was even a thing - making fun of the escapism of cheesy 1980s family sitcoms, but also following the format instead of fighting it a la WandaVision's 5th episode, A Very Special Episode.
