I know that's the case for some people, but in mine, it isn't. I think Navi Rawat does decent enough. There are times when her acting appears a bit off (for instance, for someone who was supposed to be so hot for Charlie, she sure seems disinterested in him a whole lot of the while) but for the most part I think she's doing what she can with what she has to work with.I admit that my opinion of Amita has mostly been shaped by how she was presented to us, and not necessarily how she acts or the decisions she makes. There have been a few instances of her behavior and choices that bothered me (as in Assassin, 2.05, and Convergence, 2.07) but for the most part, I feel like the writers are trying to coerce me to like her/sympathize with her instead of letting the character speak for herself.
From day one, it's made clear that she's supposed to be Charlie's love interest. But I never saw any chemistry between the two of them, so any scenes insinuating a relationship going to that level always just bugged me. She has on various occasions waltzed in when Charlie is stumped and pointed out something obvious (Undercurrents, 2.23 and End of Watch, 3.15, just to name a couple) and she is literally handed amazing offers: the Harvard position which she turns down, Millie has her on tenure track already and she's accepted the chair position on the curriculum committee. The problem is that I feel like I'm be told she's amazing and deserves all these things, rather than shown that she does.
I feel that one of the bigger mistakes was giving her the generic nerd background in Harvest, 2.14 rather than make her unique. (They had this whole sob story about how she didn't want to be different from other kids, and how she just wanted to fit in, and I thought the opportunity had been a perfect one to flesh her out into someone separate from Charlie.) I just remain continually irritated by her.
And that's an issue with the writing, not an issue with the actress.
However, that is all just my opinion.

But you see thats where I'm going, when Charmita isnt in opperation all Charlie does is moan about her and the like. When its not an issue, aka when there together, he gets a little Math done  |
I disagree. When it's not "in operation," he tends to work fine. It's only when she teases him with the possibility of developing their relationship further that he turns into Mope Guy. (Or at least, it was that way in S2. S3 so far has been an exercise in alternating between nails down a chalkboard and watching grass grow: they drive me crazy or they bore me.)
