Pivoting

I honestly wasn't expecting myself to love this show when I first started it. I'm still waiting for the next few episodes but I've been loving the show until now. First of all, I LOVE the strong female cast, they just made the whole show so much better. Also, I wasn't expecting any of the characters to be queer, but I love the bi representation in this show as well. I actually found myself cracking up on some of the scenes so the storyline is pretty entertaining as well.

I am a sucker for Maggie Q and it is a nice change to watch her away from the usual action flicks. The three ladies work well together and although the humour is not gut-wrenching it is amusing. I thought it a 7/10 and added 1 for Maggie. I hope it continues to entertain and maybe a second series may result.

I really wanted to like this because I do love all three of the main actresses, but this is just not good. The women all act like clueless and unlikeable idiots. I get that they're supposed to be "in crisis", but much of the episode plots just seem so over the top and unrealistic. Eliza Coupe's character in particular is just bizarre. She somehow has two kids and doesn't know how to be a mother. She works part-time and never sees her kids, but she frequently has time to hang out in a grocery store or coffee shop with her friends?? Oh and she can somehow afford a nanny despite only seeming to work part time? I feel like this show must have been written by men. It just seems so out of touch. It's a shame- all these ladies are so talented and yet I'd be extremely surprised if this gets renewed for a second season.

This is hands down the best sit com on TV at the moment... Which is why I fully expect it's being cancelled as I type.

While a not a family friendly offering, Pivoting is smart, fast paced, perfectly cast, and extremely funny.

It also has some very poignant moments woven in that tug at the heartstrings.

For me, the character and plot development for this show are where it shines.

The creators have fleshed out people who are imperfect, yet extremely likable.

Moreover, the show is populated by characters who are not merely diverse on the surface, but instead represent a broad array of personalities.

That is such a rare thing these days, it's sad that this show is not getting the attention it deserves.

This is a rare gem in a sea of bad television and well worth watching.

I love TV shows like these, I love Friends, HIMYM, sitcoms, etc., but this is a wasted potential. The over saturated trope where the main characters change their lives after a friend dies is boring. Their stories and lives are different, because a group must have different people with different lives and nothing in common. Not to mention the fact that someone as average as Ginnifer is the fat woman of the group. Writers and casting director need glasses or to enter 2022 already. She's thin in comparison to the average American woman.

This could have been great, but it is mediocre at best.
