I thought it was terrible. I could only get through episode one.
Warning: Spoilers
The lady (Billie) starts out the first episode by saying she has the perfect husband, the perfect marriage, perfect kids and the perfect relationship. Then she says everything is perfect except for the fact that she and her husband are not having enough sex since the birth of their second child. She has no problem saying this to the camera. But she can't tell her husband? Isn't communication an important part of a good relationship? Lady, you ain't got the perfect relationship.
Billie is already out of college. She's married with two kids. She has to be at least in her late twenties or early thirties. But she acts like a shallow, stupid teenager suffering from nymphomania. I am all about female impowerment and a healthy sex life. But this is ridiculous.
And she's a psychology major. And she can't figure out what her problem is?
Just out of curiosity, I sorted the positive reviews on the old IMDb by rating, just to see the 10s. These reviewers are either trolls, or they are getting paid by production to pump up this program. This show is not a ten. By any stretch of the imagination.
I only watched the first episode. I couldn't get through the second. Life is too short.
Shallow, stupid and juvenile.
EDIT: After reading the few positive reviews, I went back and watched episode one again to see if I had jumped to any erroneous conclusions. And I took note of these often used movie and TV show plot hole tropes;
- She and a guy she just met get naked and have sex in, and around a rooftop pool. Surrounded by taller buildings. (Gee, good thing no buildings have windows. And no tenants have telescopes or binoculars in New York City. Indecent exposure and lewd and lacivious behavior anyone?)
- She writes in her journal how unhappy she is with the lack of romance and sex in her marriage. And how she fantasizes about her ex-boyfriend. Then leaves her laptop open and unlocked on the kitchen counter for her husband to read. Then acts surprised and shocked when he sees it.
- She takes a train from Connecticut to New York City to drop in on her single and "super sexually active" girlfriend, without calling first. (Cellphone anyone? How long IS that train ride from Connecticut to New York City?) And she is surprised she is interrupting her girlfriend's morning with another overnight fling (which happens to turn out to be her ex-boyfriend). Who drops in without calling first? From one state to another?
Once again, I tried to watch episode two. I couldn't do it. It's just too stupid.
Have you seen it? What did you think?

Not seen it, and frankly not interested in seeing it. There is a lot of sex and nudity. If you like that. But the writing is stupid. |

I couldn't get past episode two. IYKYK I know what I thought of this show. And I know what most user reviews on the old IMDb are saying. Most people don't like this show. They think it is stupid, immoral and a waste of time. Supposedly, the only people who like it are either childishlessly excited by all the sex and nudity. Or too immature and ignorant to know right from wrong. |

I never got that far because the first episode was so bad. And the reviewers that watched the whole series said it only got worse. Not better. I went and watched that scene since you pointed it out. That wouldn't bother me because I've never had trouble finding female companionship. Why do you highlight that scene? You liked it? Men have told you they were intimidated by it? |

Men have told you they were intimidated by it? I highlighted it simply because it went viral. I haven’t watched a single episode of this show, but like many others, i did go check out that specific scene. There are also a bunch of videos of people recording themselves reacting to that scene and it’s pretty amusing, especially when couples do it - seeing the woman’s reactions and her partners reaction. It was just meant in fun. |

It was just meant in fun. Well, it's definitely an eye opener. Too me it seems more like a curiosity. Most of the women I've talked with say they have had affairs with guys who were large. But that alone was not enough to sustain a relationship. Just like guys and big boobs. After a while it's a "been there done that" type of thing. Which makes the star of the show's decision to stab her husband in the back, blow up her family, and destroy her children's lives, even more foolish, stupid and objectionable. Thanks for notifying me of that scene. I have heard of a three-way scene with Billie, her boyfriend and her best girlfriend. But I had never heard of that scene. |
