À Beira do Caos

Could only get part way through episode 3 before I jumped to the end to see how it ended. All the way through I couldn't help but think about the Seinfeld, "show about nothing" comment.

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.

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".

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.
