That Delpy and Landeau spin their stories with a mix of humanity and absurdity is, again, both impressive and righteously French. C'est bon. Go to Full Review

We definitely need more shows about complex women over the age of forty, I'm just not sure a show about the plights of the extremely privileged, albeit quasi-liberal, is exactly filling in the most glaring gap in terms of representation. Go to Full Review

An interesting ode to maturity, only that it sometimes repeats the chorus too much. And always with the same voices. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

'On the Verge' is a celebration of being middle-aged in all of its glorious and, yes, sexy chaos. Go to Full Review

On The Verge interestingly dissects the dilemma of curious Gen Z kids and their equally woke parents, who are struggling to keep it together. Go to Full Review

No doubt there are folks who will identify with some of the themes presented here, but others may find On The Verge lacking. Go to Full Review

Frederic S @RickUCLA Jan 16 This was such an amazing show. PLEASE MAKE MORE!!! The writing and acting are just fantastic, and I love how the show deals with the real types of serious dramatic things that actually effect people's relationships in real life. It is extremely brave, honest, and real, while at the same time infusing each episode with comedy and lightheartedness. The characters are all so multi-dimensional, and not cartoony at all. Even Delpi's husband, who is so awful, even he is sometimes nice and loving, and even when he is at his worst it is not cartoonish at all, but very much like narcisistic people I have known in real life. One other little thing I just loved about it was how it showed the main women, especially Delpi, being busy but in a realistic way, not with everyone yelling at them and fast-talking at them and handing them files every second like in every other show, but just in a calm, real way, the way people actually are at work in real life. CONTINUE IT! I need to know what happens! See more emma w @RT00470158 Nov 26 I absolutely love this show coming to it in 2025. Why only one series, Netflix? It’s not enough! See more Mari A @RT71549767 Aug 28 I enjoyed watching this show! It made me laugh and I appreciate how the characters and relationships slowly evolve from the first episode, especially Justine’s character. I wish there was a second season! See more Steve O @olshewsky 02/17/2023 The only show ever to make me want to give a Bad review -- far & away the Worst show I've ever watched ! ! ! Struggled to make it through 5 episodes hoping it could get better. Eventually started hoping any of the characters would die painful deaths. Some characters more than others needed a prolonged plane crash, or maybe trapped in a fire. None of the characters were likable much less relatable. No plot developed over the first 5 episodes. The story arch is a flat, short line from depressing to hopeless ! ! ! See more Carter F @RT26946362 11/16/2022 Ridiculous waste of time , not funny , unrealistic, contrived . You will keep waiting for it to amount to something and it never does . See more 08/06/2022 None of these women are likeable. They make bad choices, seem to want to use their kids for their own comfort or gain, are whiney over their own inability to find happiness, or are so completely out of touch with their kids' generation that it is unbelievable. I am not finding anything redeeming about them as people and find no reason to root for them to get better. I like Shue & Delpy a lot, but this material doesn't do them any favors.
