I expected to turn it off within 30 minutes. I expected it to be as bad as a Lifetime movie. As bad as all the other Netflix romantic shows and movies. But when I got to the end credits of the first episode and realized it wasn't a movie, I felt an inkling of hope that this might actually be interesting.

It is borderline cheesy most of the time. But somehow, it manages to skirt that line and overcome it with relatively compelling characters and story, as well as just enough chemistry and decent pacing. I am on episode 7 and haven't fast forwarded once.

Maybe it was the low expectations... maybe it was the mood... Either way, it's nice to be pleasantly surprised.

I'd never seen anything about this show, but It appeared on my feed - love Netflix' algorithm - so gave it a go and whilst it's not insightful, it's fun.

I like all the characters, they're pretty to look at and the dialogue is quite witty.

Definitely an old vs young vibe about it.

Each episode keeps your attention and it's great for a binge!

If you want easy watching and to have a smile on your face, then this is for you.

More to it that Emily in Paris, but in the same vein with great outfits for all.

If you're looking for deep, groundbreaking show with life lessons, it's probably worth swerving!

I loved it.

I was looking forward to watching this. In the beginning I felt like the acting was b- but I hung in there.

I'm at episode 8 and really wanted to like the main character but I like her less each episode. She's not a good person even though it appears that she is on the outside.

I don't understand why'd they'd make the main character in a rom com the bad guy (girl).

I wish the show was about Rachel and Tyler they are good people and stand for something unlike Ingrid. If there is a season 2 hopefully it will be more about them and less about her.

I will watch until the end but I'm not sure if I'd watch season 2.

I found it pretty hard to get into this series, it was pretty messy and confusing in the beginning. Maybe it's my lack of knowledge about business and law or something else, but half of the time I had no idea what was going on. Towards the end though, the story started to become more clear and easier to follow.

While I was watching this I noticed myself asking what the point of this series was. What's the real story here? What are they trying to convey to the viewer? Because, this series didn't really bring anything new or interesting to the table and it was hard understand the whole concept. Some aspects of this show were enjoyable and/or well though out; the racism issue, the characters' friendships and relationships. I'm sure there is something to valuable and fascinating about this series, which would have become clearer with improved writing.

I never read the book this was based on so I cannot say if they did it justice but by itself I thought this was good. IF you think this is going to be a generic rom com show themed around lawyers with a roses and rainbows predictable ending, think again. It's not perfect mind you. Some cringe. Some cheesiness. Some iffy acting here and there. Quite like a soapy kdrama sort?

The characters here are flawed too. They make weighted decisions that the audience might find off putting considering they're supposed to be the main characters. This is also a slow burn. First half is about the build up and presentation the second half is where it shines. The end is a great closure with potential for future story.

There's some 'this won't happen irl' moments like any other show as they tend to crank stuff up a notch but it's all still relatable. Most especially one of their main focus of 'finding what you want in life' which really hits a lot for me. It's not a heavy drama, quite light hearted but serious.

The side characters have their own personality and adds to the dynamic. I was rooting for Rachel's storyline more but Ingrid's storyline focus isn't so bad. My gripe honestly is that I wish they focused more on the lawyer journey and sidelined the romance plot so we get a more genuine slow burn tension.
