I binged the whole series in a couple weeks. I loved it initially then felt grimy as I continued to watch. I couldn’t quite put my finger on why I wasn’t that into it anymore but had to finish. Then I read the reviews and realized - this show portrays the worst of people while going through divorce and life struggles, and that is uncomfortable. Yes, Abby is extremely selfish and self-absorbed and should be in therapy. Yes, Phoebe is also a hot mess. Yes, Delia does change significantly, not necessarily for the better. Jo and Albert were the only ones who seemed to grow as a result of their negative experiences. But such is life! This show portrays the human condition - we don’t always learn from our mistakes but we get up and dust ourselves off and keep trying. I hate to admit that, but it made me appreciate the show more.
