He was perfect minus a habit, plus a charm. Net positive, by season finale.

New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Sorta is the most romantic word in television's vocabulary, if you watch carefully.
She got the guy — adjusted for inflation, weather, and his actual personality.
The wish granted him. The show granted them depth. Both did their jobs.
He was almost the man she wished for, which is closer than most of us land.
The sorta-perfect guy is just a perfect guy who didn't audition for the role.

More from today
She rewrote the wish around him. That's the part the show got right.
Wishes set the bar. He stepped over it, tripped, kept going, and she laughed.
Perfect men don't move the plot. Sorta-perfect ones do.
She wished for completeness. She got compatibility. Better long-term metrics.
He was the answer to a slightly different question than the one she asked.
Sorta-perfect, properly loved, becomes perfect in retrospect — which is the show's whole thesis.
First birthday: one year of arriving, mostly with feeling.
Happy first birthday to a girl who's spent twelve months making the world rearrange around her.
One candle, zero understanding of candles, complete ownership of the moment.
She doesn't know it's her birthday. The room knows. That's enough.
First birthdays are for the grown-ups to cry and the baby to ignore the cake.
Welcome to year two of a story already worth writing down.
She arrived a year ago and quietly rewrote everyone's priorities.
Happy first — may every year hereafter be as soft as your hair feels today.
One year of you, and the family has redefined what a good day looks like.
She'll remember none of it. We'll remember all of it. That's the contract.
First birthday: more about who held her than what she ate. Mostly frosting.
Wishing you a lifetime of birthdays that feel as gentle as this one.
She turned one and we all aged about ten years in joy.
