I thought it was terrible. I could only get through episode one.
Warning: Spoilers
The lady (Billie) starts out the first episode by saying she has the perfect husband, the perfect marriage, perfect kids and the perfect relationship. Then she says everything is perfect except for the fact that she and her husband are not having enough sex since the birth of their second child. She has no problem saying this to the camera. But she can't tell her husband? Isn't communication an important part of a good relationship? Lady, you ain't got the perfect relationship.
Billie is already out of college. She's married with two kids. She has to be at least in her late twenties or early thirties. But she acts like a shallow, stupid teenager suffering from nymphomania. I am all about female impowerment and a healthy sex life. But this is ridiculous.
And she's a psychology major. And she can't figure out what her problem is?
Just out of curiosity, I sorted the positive reviews on the old IMDb by rating, just to see the 10s. These reviewers are either trolls, or they are getting paid by production to pump up this program. This show is not a ten. By any stretch of the imagination.
I only watched the first episode. I couldn't get through the second. Life is too short.
Shallow, stupid and juvenile.
EDIT: After reading the few positive reviews, I went back and watched episode one again to see if I had jumped to any erroneous conclusions. And I took note of these often used movie and TV show plot hole tropes;
- She and a guy she just met get naked and have sex in, and around a rooftop pool. Surrounded by taller buildings. (Gee, good thing no buildings have windows. And no tenants have telescopes or binoculars in New York City. Indecent exposure and lewd and lacivious behavior anyone?)
- She writes in her journal how unhappy she is with the lack of romance and sex in her marriage. And how she fantasizes about her ex-boyfriend. Then leaves her laptop open and unlocked on the kitchen counter for her husband to read. Then acts surprised and shocked when he sees it.
- She takes a train from Connecticut to New York City to drop in on her single and "super sexually active" girlfriend, without calling first. (Cellphone anyone? How long IS that train ride from Connecticut to New York City?) And she is surprised she is interrupting her girlfriend's morning with another overnight fling (which happens to turn out to be her ex-boyfriend). Who drops in without calling first? From one state to another?
Once again, I tried to watch episode two. I couldn't do it. It's just too stupid.
Have you seen it? What did you think?
