A Duquesa

The first few episodes were very interesting, trying to figure everything out. But then it became very predictable.... I find the jokes funny, and liked seeing what I feel is an explanation (though hyperbolic) of what Katherine Ryan's life feels like. I wish there would be another season to focus on like the future rather than past / present. How Katherine Ryan or other writers / producers see her life going and then like it's a daydream (or whatever). Definitely like her comedy, and the sassiness of Olive. Not such a fan of the dad nor step mom....and of course we love Evan.

I was really starting to get into this series, getting to know the characters etc and then it was over. I really hope they bring it back as I feel that this could be something really funny, it has so many ways it's can go and six 30 minute episodes isn't enough to really get a feel for a series.

I came for the sass (it was kinda overdone half of the time) and hoped for some giggles. Had a few laughs, and although I still haven't made up my mind if I like Katherine Ryan or not, as disturbing the story is, I watched the whole thing and didn't feel like I wasted my time. I'd watch another season.

Raunchy, irreverent, tasteless, feminist screw up Katherine Ryan leads the charge accompanied by an excellent star of the future, 'Olive' (Katy Byrne). Olive is the sensible, level headed daughter and conscience that reins in Katherine's excesses, most of the time. Katherine's also a great and fearsome mother, no doubt about it. No Spoilers - but let's get this straight, Katherine is not nice. She's self centred, a show off, pure evil if crossed, so her and Olive are Yin Yang. A great supporting cast ( Apart from Steen Raskopoulos, 'Evan', who I swear is carved out of wood and operated by a puppeteer) and some fantastic dialogue move things along nicely. There's plenty of conflict and awkward situations, some real left field thinking that takes you by surprise, and some very touching moments, but it's never schmaltzy or saccharin. I've just binged all 6 episodes and felt that it was 3 hours well spent and seemed to end on just the right note. Hopefully a second series has already been commissioned? I don't think I'm the intended demographic, being an almost old bloke, and I've had enough Katherine's to last me a lifetime, a hard lesson learned. But I ended up respecting the character, just not 'liking' her at all, if you know what I mean? Rory Keenan, 'Shep', her crazy conspiracy nut and long suffering ex, but doting dad, is a bonus.

Give it a go, you have nothing to lose.

If Katherine Ryan is your thing then you'll probably seem this passable.

It's loosely based on her stand up shtick.. and her life as a single parent. She does the whole 'mouthy sass' thing but with the volume on 11

The child actor is annoyingly stage school and she's the best amongst them.

Terrible cast and thin premise.

Still gave it a 5 as I like Ryan... despite this.
