Honestly, this is one of the best shows I have ever watched. All of the characters are interesting and multi-dimensional. Each episode is interesting on its own while, at the same time, building a larger narrative. It shows a familiar story in a unique and interesting way without villainizing every single male character. Yes, there are bad men in this show and the occasional bad women, but it shows that the problem with sexism in the U.S. workplace is more complicated. In addition to this, it also makes you think about other problems in the U.S., such as what it is like to be a black woman in America, the problem with gender roles in marriage and romantic relationships, and the Vets dealing with PTSD.
Furthermore, the acting and the costumes are simply stunning. The whole cast is amazing, and there isn't a single poor performance from anyone. However, Anna Camp steals the show as her character undergoes the most interesting transformation. She also looks breathtaking in every single shot she is in, regardless if she is in a fancy dress or a simple nightgown. The only real flaw of the show was it was too sexual at times. But if you can get passed that this show is nearly perfect. Sadly, I think this show came out just a little too soon as it predated the #Metoomovement. Nevertheless, if there ever is a second season, I would binge it all the day it came out.
Happenstance led me to this series and I, as well as my husband, totally taken with it. Having lived the 60's in Manhattan, I can really relate to this. So disappointed the series was not renewed. Hoping this will change. Can't wait to introduce my daughter to the series (she lived Manhattan in the late 90's). Great series, excellent performances!
This show is excellent! Well written, beautiful concept, incredible cast, and very timely. This show is smart and funny, beautiful and inspiring all at the same time. It deals with so many important topics that are still relevant to this day. I watched every episode when it originally aired, and I've been waiting and hoping that Amazon would come to their senses and continue on with it, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Why drop this highly rated female-driven show that wasn't even given a chance? Amazon really dropped the ball on this one and missed out on an incredible opportunity.
I absolutely loved this show, even though it's one season, still watch it. I'm hoping another network will pick it up and continue with it. They could really go somewhere with this.
My wife and I watched the whole show in 3 evenings. Each episode was better than the next. Great acting, great music, great characters, great story line. In the vain of Mad Men but with twenty somethings in 1969. The show felt like a natural extension of Mad Men and would be a natural progression into the topics of the 1970's. We were loving each of the three main characters and Could not wait until season two...but Amazon cancelled it after two months??? I was only aware of the show after a friend mentioned how good it was. I had not seen a single ad for it anywhere ( unlike Goliath which had ads everywhere). I mean how could this be a failure after two months of being out and no promotion? Stunned and turned off by this decision.
