I wanted so badly to like this. The cast... My goodness. Emily Browning, Mary Louise Parker, Lily Rabe, Chloë Sevigny, Ad-rock, Schwartzman. Come on. What a lineup.

But even they couldn't save this movie. All I saw were a bunch of unhappy women wondering about their husband's attention to them and if said husbands were cheating.... or unhappy women wishing they had men, as they are just sooo unhappy being alone. As a bonus, you also get to watch unhappy men seeking validation and attention that apparently their successful and beautiful wives can't provide. All this displayed through boring and unrealistic dialog and actions.

You're going to line up a cast of badass women and then place them in these surface level roles? Really? An absolute waste.

This movie wanted to be profound and intertwined but missed both of those goals by a mile. It really is a shame.

This is the only series I've ever seen 5hat I preferred to the book. The book was just okay for me. The series really brought the characters to life. The girl that plays Vic McQueen is a really great actress. The rest of the cast were all perfect selections. I don't understand how people can leave a review on a series after watching only one or two episodes, but that has happened a lot here and they are mostly bad reviews. Maybe watch the whole thing before you judge? And to anyone saying I don't care about the family problems, did you forget that was a big part of the storyline even in the book?

But again, I really enjoyed this. A lot of character development... It makes you really concerned about what will happen to them. And while it does veer a but from the book in some parts I actually liked what they did with it. I looked forward to each episode and I'm looking forward to season 2 as well.
