The gossip-driven, feud-festering worlds of real and imagined daytime talk shows mix in this scripted series, which features Vanessa Williams ("Ugly Betty"), Tichina Arnold ("Survivor's Remorse"), Chloe Bridges ("The Carrie Diaries"), Camille Guaty ("Scorpion") and Fiona Gubelmann ("Wilfred") as the hosts of "The Lunch Hour." It's a long-running, hit talk show for women, filled with conversations about life, love, politics and, of course, juicy gossip. But off-camera, a sinister side of the industry emerges -- a backstage world where power struggles, diva fits and steamy affairs are the norm. As the drama of "The Lunch Hour" makes news, everyone is talking about it, including the cast members of the actual hit talk show "The View," who guest star as themselves.

Our new favorite trash show. Go to Full Review Johanna Schneller Toronto Star 08/09/2017
There's hugging and learning, as well as stabs at campy, sudsy fun. But to me it's a lost opportunity to dig into any truths about how women work together. We get plenty of outfits and outsized egos, but little insight. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 06/07/2017
Daytime Divas never settles on a tone, never finds anything really interesting to say about its world and only occasionally rises to the level of mediocrity. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 06/08/2017

What makes Daytime Divas appealing is the idea that the over-the-top behavior it features might actually be reality. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/16/2017 Daytime Divas is an awesome show. Every Monday. 6 of us get together for a viewing party to see what shocking things will happen next. We can't wait till the next week. This week we searched every where and found out.... Noooo!!! Last week was the season finale. We can't wait till next season starts. When??? When please tell us Lol. See you soon ladies. See more 08/01/2017 I love this show! It is fast paced and has some funny one liners in addition to the soapy plots. See more 07/19/2017 This show is terrific. I am hooked on it now. I hope there is a season 2! See more 07/17/2017 They've got my attention hopefully they'll keep it See more 07/14/2017 absolutely delightful. it´s a show written by women, about women. The female protagonists are strong with well developed arcs, they are friends, they support each other, grow, compete, have goal, dreams, secrets.... It is hard to watch comedy shows with female protagonists without too much stereotypes. Which is really irritating because those funny, competent can talk about anything women are everywhere in real life. It is interesting to note that in the critics, so many MEN wrote that the show don´t have anything interesting to say and also that is something "already seen before".
