One after another, they seemed only to want to swindle her out of her money, and she was getting frustrated. Finally, she met a man who had his life together.

Finished S1. Feel like Jules story could have been done in 1 or 2 episodes. Didn't need all the experts and other people. Ended up just listening to hers and skipping the rest
