This show seems to be a favorite with a lot of people, so what am I missing? The characters are.a whiny and obnoxious lot, so typical of too many programs these days. Jessica Williams' character, in particular, seems to do nothing but yell and moan the whole time. Jason Segal's character is a self-absorbed jerk and even Harrison Ford, usually likable, is just annoying.
The actors aren't helped by some truly awful writing. Profanity tries to pass for wit.
There may have been a good premise here, but it fails in the execution. Hopefully at some point, Harrison Ford will find a better show for his talents.

Lana Turner had been a huge star at MGM in the 1940s. With the exception of the fabulous "The Bad and the Beautiful," her MGM days in the '50s were less kind and she was given weak scripts and less interesting male co-stars to work with. "A Life of Her Own" was the start of her downhill slide at MGM in that decade.
Lana plays a small-town girl who comes to the big city hoping to make a name for herself as a fashion model. On her first day in town she meets washed-up model Ann Dvorak whose life has been ruined by bad men, bad booze and too many mink coats. The first 25 minutes of the movie when Dvorak is on screen are by far the most interesting. Dvorak steals the film completely from Turner.
Unfortunately, once she's out of the picture we're stuck with a soapy romance involving Lana and married man Ray Milland. The two stars have zero chemistry so their romance is totally hard to believe. Nothing really much happens after that--they stir up a romance, he goes away, he sends her jewelry, they reunite, they fight... It all gets pretty monotous.
The only reason to slog through the rest of this mess is the encounter between Turner and Margaret Phillips as Milland's invalid wife. And once again, Turner gets upstaged, this time by Phillips who is excellent and brings a real humanity to her role. I iwish the movie would have been more about her.
As for the ending, ugh!
"A Life of Her Own" never really takes on any sort of life of its own.
