      • Feb 11, 2023
        Great acting wasted on an idiotic plot, real shame :(
      • Jan 06, 2023
        I'm on episode 5, and I'm about to call it quits watching this. As critics have pointed out, Renee Z. Is amazing in this. Such a far cry from Bridget Jones, lol. And really a departure from Pam (The Thing About Pam)! Her small, shapely body, the smooth actions of a femme fatale…she pulls it off with perfection. No small feat considering what she is surrounded by in this effort. Such cheese! It's all been done before and in a more believable way. There is no way I can believe her Black pregnant friend is a surgeon, she just doesn't have the vibe. And hubby Sean, don't even get me started! Little Mr. "Aw, gee whiz!" Such a fresh faced all American Fireman to be…groan. Everyone is cast just a bit too well? They are stereotypes. Upwardly mobile young professionals. Soap opera stuff. I've already determined that Anne must be Lisa's biological mother. I'm not sure how the other sub stories figure in. Anne is destroying Sean because he's not good enough for her bio daughter? And head of surgery Ian (Dr. Kildare's looks will never really die on TV!) is one evil man. The token gay couple…well, who cares? Renee sure has an awesome wardrobe. I don't often agree with critics. Gotta say I completely agree with them on this show: Renee Z is captivating, but even she cannot save this series!

        Awful. Renee Z is a such a one dimensional character with flat lines. Acting, dialogue, and story line is weak - terrible. Couldn't get past 3rd episode.
      • Jun 04, 2022
        I watched the first 6 episodes and could not take anymore of the disjointed story that was mixed with some very average acting.
      • May 09, 2022
        Really getting increasingly difficult to find anything worthwhile to watch on Netflix. The countless poor reviews have said it all. All the effort, talent, and finance put into such drivel is difficult to comprehend. Let's hope someone gives Netflix a good shaking to wake them up because right now they seem incapable of producing (or buying-in) anything worth watching.
      • Oct 29, 2021
        It started out better than it ended - but interesting enough to pass the time. Predictable ending. Entire series was carried by Renée Zellwegger - no shock there.
      • Oct 23, 2021
        Here's another example of a movie star (Renée Zellweger) featuring in a series. Another okay, but not great series. I think I'm just weary of stories that focus on the bad sides of people.
      • Oct 07, 2021
        拍摄和表演都不错,但是我简直不敢相信这部系列剧竟然在假装正确的价值观标榜的同时放进了许多极其无耻的不道德的内容。同性恋关系就算勉强忍受了,三个人一起做爱就太离谱了,最让我出离愤怒的就是一个母亲竟然刻意引诱自己女儿的丈夫,和一个口口声声妻子是他生命中最重要的人,却在并没有受到强迫的情况下主动和一个正在欺负自己妻子的老女人发生性关系,这简直匪夷所思,完全击穿了人伦底线。。。 富有了又怎样?天天过着灯红酒绿吸毒酗酒的生活很有趣吗?美国人就是这样一点一点堕落的,结果会反被金钱和放纵的无底黑洞完全的吞噬和毁灭。我不会看它的第二季。
      • Sep 11, 2021
        Sure, it's cheesy AF, but you can actually enjoy it as long as you rewind all scenes without Renee Zellweger.
      • Aug 12, 2021
        It had a good plot but their facial expressions specially when they talk felt weird to me ...it goes same for the voice acting as well
