I had no expectations when I started watching this series. I haven't heard good things about it. I was hoping to get into a series that is light to watch (not too stimulating, I watch a lot of SCI-FI). It was a very enjoyable TV show and I wish they didn't cancel!
So, I'll start with commenting on the negative reviews. Someone has said that this TV show is about rich people doing stupid things - so untrue! This TV show is actually pretty realistic... There is one couple that is rich, and they do stupid things, but honestly it all makes sense. The wife has no career and isn't intellectually brightest, is completely codependent and spoiled and acts like a child, that's why she's doing stupid things. I think the authors added that couple to the story to make things funny - because otherwise this show wouldn't be as light, without the humor.
And that isn't a bad thing - the show is honestly really emotionally developed. I connected with the characters so well emotionally. The main characters are very well written and played. Robert (the husband) is such a good actor! SJP did a great job and it was interesting to see her play someone else and so different than Carrie Bradshaw. She did such a good job.
Overall, the show is as mundane as I wanted it to be. It's just every day drama of every day people, it makes you think about what strangers might be going through that you would never know.
What I liked about the show:
What I didn't like:
I really wish this show was more appreciated. I am very picky about anything I consume and if I liked it, it definitely deserved to continue :D

What I liked about the show:
- it is light to watch but complex enough to have to pay attention
- main characters well-developed
- very good actors (except for the daughter maybe)
- emotionally engaging
- not too stimulating but keeps you interested and wants to see what happens next
- funny moments to lighten things up when they get serious
- very happy & sad at the same time!
What I didn't like:
- I think it took a long time to be really engaging but once you engage youll appreciate the back story
- I hated how season 3 started... it didn't make any sense whatsoever. It got me wondering if I skipped a season?? I bet they changed things up because of the low ratings or something, maybe they knew they were cancelling it so they tried to wrap it up, but damn, season 2 had such a good story development and then BAM, season 3 suddenly jumps way into the future without giving us any insight.. it sucked. But even after that the show was still really good.
I really wish this show was more appreciated. I am very picky about anything I consume and if I liked it, it definitely deserved to continue :D
