Mount Pleasant

I just discovered this and am so sad it's over .... Only took me a week to binge the 6 seasons.

This series was brilliant at having the characters grow and mature. The most obvious were Bianca and Denise, of course.

It showed the reality of fighting and breaking up and fighting and making up.

I grew up in a family that had people coming and going in each others homes (not houses, homes) and drinking too much (or not enough sometimes). We were at home wherever we were. And that's what I loved most about this series. The intimacy of it all.

If only I had that now! So I did, for a week with this great series. Thank you!

I found Mount Pleasant cast to be whiners with screeching voices. Plus I can't stand shows where in-laws just barge in and have no common sense. Every minute seemed to be people arguing.

It's well written.

It's a better way of seeing neighbors become good friends and family to each other. There are some action filled episodes too. If there is a character you don't like at first, over time you will see their growth and develop a heart for them.

I really do like the show I just found it I know it's off the air now but my goodness Lisa needs to take a chill pill I couldn't be with someone who nags constantly and she such a hypocrite she sitting there flirting with Todd OK and then she's gonna jump in to her husband's ass constantly she is the nagging ass woman I have ever seen my goodness I really like her but why are they going to make her out to be a really and please tell me that the little girl that sits across from her is not that stupid really my goodness he's never going to leave his wife dingdong. I really feel like I'm watching an American show I watch shows from across the pond because you're more realistic I know it's a comedy but come on people this is too much like American I do like the show but some of it is yeah

Is everyone an alcoholic on this show? Maybe I'm used to watching shows here in the US but it's rare to see this much constant heavy drinking in any comedy/drama like this genre.

None of the characters can seemingly do anything without either a beer or glass of wine in their hand. Or a shot, or a margarita, or vodka. It's ridiculous. The only exception I can see is maybe Lisa's parents who are delightful. As is the intelligent neighbor guy. Snappy dialogue as well and quirky story arcs.

I've really enjoyed Lisa in Madame Blanc. She's much better utilized there. The nonstop booze turned me off on this one, tho, so moving on.
