I don't watch trailers to avoid spoilers. I have skill to interpret single picture.

Clincoln McLoud became unpopular after overuse in S2.

You can say this about Lynn. She was a jerk and now the writers try to make her a jerk woobie. For many her backstory was revealed too late.

When in fiction a character does many bad things and much later their tragic backstory is revealed, most viewers don't feel sympathy to them and find it merely as a poor excuse. In manga Fairy Tail Minerva commited so much attrocities, even when her abusive father was dead, she kept doing it, and most viewers didn't forgive her even after reveal of her backstory. The viewers think she caused too much damage to feel any sympathy for her. Worse example is main antagonist of manga Fushigi Yugi, who manipulated and killed so many, even allies when he no longer needed them, his tragic backstory in the end was revealed in the last episode and as result viewers didn't think anything justifies his attrocities. In western animation such example is Diamond Tiara from My Little Pony, who was an insufferable jerk and bully and abusive mother revealed in 5th season was not enough to make her sympathetic for audience. I'm giving this example, because with Lynn it can be similar.
