    There is not a single fresh moment in the three episodes that have run so far; it turns out you can be controversial without being the least bit interesting.

    We do meet her parents, but nearly every other moment comes across as calculated--including, in the first episode, the absence of her daughter Bristol--and we find out nothing about Alaska that we didn't learn in elementary school.
