Small Achievable Goals

Hilarious and sometimes cringy sitcom from two of the creators of Baroness von Sketch about the challenges and indignities of being a menopausal woman in a society that is youth obsessed and still full of sexism. This show isn't for everyone, but if you enjoyed Baroness von Sketch, you will love Small Achievable Goals. Meredith McNeill and Jennifer Whelan are wonderful, and they have a great supporting cast full of Canadian comic actors. I laughed all through the pilot and can't wait to see the rest of the series. Older women should watch beach use they will relate, and younger women and men should watch for the educational value.

I don't know what it is with Meredith MacNeill, She literally makes me cringe with embarrassment, she's over the top, and I freaking love her! Paired with Jennifer Whalen, the two put on a great show. As a 53 yr old woman, this show touches personal and intimate issues all women face. Periods's, menopause, human connection. Parenting older children, how hard it is to find good friends when you are older, and seeing friendship in people that you would never imagine sharing life with. Until you do, then you wonder where they've been all your life! It is funny, touching, and brings up all the emotions. . I hope theees a season 2.

Ignore the morbies and nay-sayers and give this a watch. It's hilarious. My (male) partner thinks so, too. The ladies are *not* hysterical, as per other reviewers. The show talks straight about real issues in women's lives but it's also very, very funny. We just wandered into it by chance and ended up binging quite a few episodes, laughing all the way.

It is well-executed. The show is not just about menopause - although why would that be a bad thing? If it makes you want to vote for the Tories, you're taking yourself way too seriously. And why is everyone so hard on the Ceeb? The Ceeb does great work.

I like that the characters are fallible, vulnerable, fully-rounded, and look and sound like real people. No one is a caricature. The humour is apposite, the narrative is engaging, the characters are sympathetic. It's nice to see a show that deals with the realities of women's lives without sinking into sentimentality or cynicism - it's just, refreshingly, right.

It's a comedy, meant to entertain. Comedy often portrays exaggerated characteristics. I loved how the characters voiced things publicly that many of us feel as we age but do not say to anybody except other women who can relate. This shame has been thrust upon us by a society that historically and currently would rather only celebrate youth and beauty. It allows us to be seen while aging and while working. It covers several important subjects (aging, women's health, sexism) in a lighthearted and relatable way and let's women be seen as they age but tackles the subject in a very funny way, almost farcical. I think the other two reviews I read missed this. This show is for women and about women, period. We get the message. I am looking forward to more. I really enjoyed the first episode.

Funny stuff Finally mature woman relatable content.

Laughed so hard I lost control of my bladder again LOL 55+

Menopause needs to be talked about.
