Maybe it's because I'm a mom in my mid 30s but I found this show incredibly relatable and hilarious. I truly do not understand the low ratings and negative reviews... Maybe people didn't stick around long enough? At first the characters are unlikable but they grow on you. I especially relate to Elizabeth Shue's character.

Anyway, give this show a shot if you like smart, funny, sometimes awkward shows that don't feature picture perfect actors.

Its addictive, and also a bit awful. All the husbands are terrible people. The women are mostly vapid and boring, except I want to see where the story with the Yasmin character is heading. I think Elisabeth Shue absolutely saves this show, she's the only one I related to at all. I'd like to see more of her with her mom, Stephanie Powers. Julie Delpy is subtly funny, I had no idea she had comedic chops. I find myself rooting for her husband's demise. The Elle character was painful to watch. Just awful. I got to the point that I couldnt stand her face. If they do another season, I'd like to see Elle fall off a cliff or something.

I don't understand the awful reviews...it's not the best but it is quirky in the European way....laugh out loud moments, tenderness and a realness of life most shows don't come close to.... I really liked it....quite original....and definitely worth watching.

Come on! This series is so much fun. I could totally relate to the characters, had many laughs, and had a kick out of seeing Jennifer Hart and the Man from Atlantis. Also loved revisiting The Rapture in The Party episode. Great job, Julie! I mean, Madame Delpy. ;-D.

It seems like they intentionally create drama from these women's life and make up this strong and independent storyline. The story is stretched too long just to go nowhere after 12 eps. I don't feel that I know the characters that well and they are portrayed quite superficially.
