This show is alright. And only alright because I'm not crazy about the writing of Kerri Russell's character. The character has to be told to put her hair up so she is more presentable? Really? By the Vice President? She has her husband smell her arm pits to see if 'it's bad?' I totally understand women who are busy and not concerned about their outer appearance, or who don't like having to wear dresses... but basic hygiene and putting yourself together are basic requirements for any person in their late 30's early 40's in the workforce. Let alone a Diplomat who doesn't have to spend time worrying about tasks such as grocery shopping, cooking or cleaning.

This film took my breath away. I am so grateful that Dan Levy wrote (and directed) a movie about grief and the complexity of relationships. What I appreciated about the writing (and vision) is that it shows characters who are flawed and struggling (just how all of us are). All the characters are so well fleshed out and three dimensional that you can not be judgmental of any of them. Dan Levy's script deals with very complex themes yet seasons it with humour, compassion and love. All the performances were magnificent. This is a movie I will be watching over and over again.

I loved this series! I thought Kim Cattrall was (as always) exceptional. I really loved the host of characters. The actors are oozing with talent and there were so many faces I had never seen before. I watched over one evening. And I will probably watch it again.

I really disliked this series. And by the way I am a woman in my early 60's. I typically love films/series about older women. The story lines could have been interesting however many of the characters were just so unlikeable. The situations they were in were not believable. I kept asking myself 'why are all these women even friends?' Just because they knew each other when they were young didn't warrant a friendship in the present. Or if it did it didn't come through in the script.

This movie was spectacular. And no-one was more surprised than me. I honestly had no idea that I would love it as much as I did. All the performances are excellent. However, the actress who really 'knocked it out of the park' was Gaby French. I was riveted from the first moment I saw her on screen. A tremendous talent and such a 'star' presence. This young woman has a style that is uniquely her own.
