On the Verge

This was so, so stupid, pathetic and unmoving. The characters completely unbelievable and unbearable. What a waste of a potentially good foundation and ensemble of characters.

Funniest dinner scenes that I have seen in a long long time. Well worth a look.

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.

The show is different, kinda realistic but not that typical realistic we are used to on this type of comedies. Each character had their likable and unlikable aspects and this I loved. A couple of scenes were too cringy for my tasted, the acting was mostly good, maybe some aspects of the stories needed more development, but hey! It's comedy! Or "dramedy".
