Kylie Northover The Age (Australia) 01/20/2022
4/5
It’s an almost cartoonish dark farce led by a sensational cast. Tolman, whose entire demeanour changes incrementally throughout the series, is totally compelling. Go to Full Review Gwen Ihnat AV Club 06/04/2021

A frump becoming a society diva just seems like a thin storyline... Fortunately, Cherry once again knows how to cast his female leads. If there's anyone we'd want to watch blossom over the course of a season, it's the effervescent Tolman. Go to Full Review Kristen Lopez IndieWire 06/04/2021

There's so much beauty in every frame, from the costumes to the production design - and actors able to rise to the occasion - that it's easy to ignore that the series isn't necessarily stretching itself. Go to Full Review Sarah McMullan The Post NZ 06/11/2021
Tolman and Frost are delightful together, and Parilla is suitably evil in a drop-dead glamorous way. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider 06/04/2021
The ensuing lurid shenanigans are cartoonish to a campy extreme, and it's hard to care who'll end up killing whom in their venal, petty squabbles. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic 06/04/2021
5/5
[Tolman is] perfectly cast as Alma, who will experience an awakening that will set her on a course, as the voiceover says at the beginning of the hour, from inconsequential to infamous. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

VITALII H @freakynickison Oct 26 I just hoped that season 2 will be us good as the first and boy oh boy, it was even better. Intentionally l kept myself busy before watching the last episode so this journey won't end as quickly. I truly didn't want it to end. That was juicy und delicious! This season is about one family only, which means that you'll have one plot and you have lots of time to focus on every character involved, which was harder during the 1st season. Meet Alma, a woman who's obsessed with the local garden club and can't help herself with how desperately she wants to join. The club is a circle of high echelon elegant ladies that Alma dreamt of becoming. It's very hard to become a member. Watch her doing everything in her power and more for materialization of her wish and yes it includes illegal activities. This season is a wild ride through a whole spectrum of emotions. Very highly recommended! See more Faith B Aug 29 It wasn’t as good as the first season but I still enjoyed it a-lot. There were some things that I loved like the darker theme and the timeline being set in the 50s. But there were also some things that didn’t seem thought through well enough and i was really confused because i had more questions than answers in the end. I feel like the writers could have been more creative and had more fun with it if they put the thought into it a little more. Overall it was great and I wish there was another season to look forward to. See more Hex x @HexOnThat Aug 27 Still engaging and full of drama, just in a vastly different style to the previous season. Feels almost like a separate show. See more Julie Q Aug 1 Season 2 was insanely disappointing and predictable. I loved Season 1's easier to follow and suspenseful storytelling, but season 2 just felt so convoluted and even too obvious how it would end. 0/10 if i could See more Risa M 12/03/2024 This show is incredibly disappointing. The lead character's fake accent is poorly done and somehow becomes even more exaggerated as the season progresses. While the first season was well-crafted and engaging, this season is a complete letdown. I strongly discourage anyone from wasting their time watching this it’s poorly executed and utterly frustrating. See more Andrei D 09/30/2024 Predictable and filled with unlikable people See more Read all reviews
