I really enjoyed season 1 and appreciated the humor. I initially thought it was pretty mature and still think the main themes and plot is mature, my 12 year old niece surprisingly saw it (because she loves Monroe Hayden and spent an entire week watching her films) and she said it was very funny. Her favorite character was Eliza. Although I wouldn't recommend this for children under 18, I think the fact that even she enjoyed and could hold a conversation regarding the characters and the choices they made shows that it's a story that resonates with a wide range of age groups.
Personally, I feel the acting was really really good! And found out a lot of it was improvised. It's all fun and games until it gets real and when it does get real, it feels like a truck rammed you from behind. It hurts. But the ending is so fulfilling.
Season 2 was a real disappointment. Even my niece thought it wasn't that good. Our conversation about that season was very short mainly because there wasn't much to talk about. She and I agreed that we did not see any arch or change happen to Joshua Garreth and felt like it was cheaply written. By that I mean, it seemed like it was written by a very inexperienced human being. Someone who has yet to live a life and know the exact things that make a person good or bad and how long and hard it is to actually change that.
I would give season 1 an 8 out of 10. I took a lot from it and the lessons and themes are so valid to my life and I'm not a rock star or a divorcee. I've never been married. I still took value from the show and the characters and appreciated the overall message.
But because season 2 is still a part of the series, I have to be honest. I'd give season 2 a 1. It wasn't good at all. So giving the series as a whole a 5, seems generous. I really wished it was the same director and writer for season 2 but understand what SkySoft's objective is and support it. It's just very unfortunate that the series has such a low scoring season after such a great one.
