I really enjoyed this show and wish that people stop bashing these women. I believe the writers did a great job showcasing these women according to their ages. I enjoyed the story and the new friends. Stop comparing this show to the old "sex and the city" because they aren't girls anymore these are grown a$$ women. So what if Samantha left because had she been there acting the same then everyone would have been complaining that she needs to grow up and give it a rest already. Also had they stayed the same " hot as fish grease" people would have talked about how they didn't "evolve".
BTW, I am a 52 yr old male who always had a healthy respect for women. Great story, funny but serious when it needed to be. This just goes to show you that people are never satisfied! I loved it and definitely would tune in for season 2. So stop bashing these women.....ENOUGH ALREADY!
