Veronica and her dad seem to be doing okay to me - they talk a lot about having no money but they do seem to have stuff. Admittedly it isn't the nicest stuff and some of it may come from before the great disgrace but still, it's a lot more than poor people have. Her car is uncool more than it's rubbish (I teach at a school for the incredibly rich and I've seen a few cars like this in the lot. Not many, but a few.) And it runs reliably. It's like someone writing the poor who has never been poor but thinks of it as having slightly grubbier things and less disposable income.
I gave them a pass on the apartment because in TV land poor people (even in NY) always seem to have the nicest places. Unless they are Making a Point About Poverty, that it.
I liked Weevil a lot; I though he was the most interesting of the outsiders, because he doesn't really have a desire to be in at all. But in the end he seemed to come down to being the person who is the muscle and not much else - though I haven't seen season 2 yet, so I could be very wrong about this.
I buy them getting together for a bunch of reasons, but mainly because I thought the actors worked well together. But a deep, dark side of me thinks that she is clinging to him because he was Lily's boyfriend and that's all she can have of her friend.
