Grosse Pointe Garden Society

We're only a few episodes in, but so far, this show is pretty good. The pacing is strong, it never drags, and it doesn't veer into anything over-the-top. It's not trying to be ground-breaking, it's just fun, light, and easy to settle into.

The story moves well, and there's just enough intrigue in each episode to keep you coming back. It's a good story with a glossy style. The characters have their own sexy appeal, and the tone strikes a nice balance.

That said, this show isn't for everyone. If you're looking for high drama or big twists, this ain't it. Even though this show is a bit cheesy and campy, the characters are a little shallow and one-dimensional, it works for what it is. It's the kind of show that's easy to settle into at the end of the day without feeling like a chore to follow.

I wouldn't call it a must-watch or addictive, but it fills a nice gap between overly heavy dramas and throwaway background shows. For me, it's off to a pretty good start.

I really like that show (so far/up to episode 9) and it is really creative. You really have to endure episode one, because it's really confusing with the introduction of all the people and sometimes you don't know who is who and what their relations are/were. Maybe that's just a "me problem".

Episode two is gradually elevating that series.

It's basically - if you can compare those - "Desperate Housewives" and "Why Women Kill". If you loved those series then this one is for you.

The characters are so over the top sometimes but it's part of the story. The story telling is also new: 6 months before and 6 months after. You get several glimpses into the future and switch back to the present. It's a good concept. Even how they visually announce that.

This is what I call a "laundry folding show." Put it on, turn off your brain, and just enjoy yourself while you fold your laundry on the coffee table. That's this to a tee. Very light and fun. If this were on Netflix, it'd be a big hit. It reminded me of No Good Deed on Netflix.

My one complaint is that the constant, and I mean constant, cutting back and forth between the two timelines is a bit overdone and distracting. I wish there was less of that because you can lose track of the character beats depending on the timeline. But that aside, it's great. Melissa Fumero is the MVP. Great to see her play a completely different character form her role on Brooklyn 911.

I was excited when I saw this show was coming. I'm a big fan of the kinda cheesy, kinda dark murder mystery genre. The idea sounded intriguing, someone is murdered but who is it? The first episode was good. But now 4 episodes in and it's losing its luster. The constant timeline changes can be confusing. And it if I'm honest, the main characters are not very likeable. I can't stand a character that constantly gets in their own way and is completely oblivious how their behavior affects everyone else. "Alice" springs to mind. The other characters have equally annoying traits.

I like how it's filmed, the scenery, the small town feel.

I wanted to love it, but right now mehh.

I love how this show is constantly testing if you know who "quiche" is. I love Aja Naomi King and Birdie! I really hope it gets a season 2. The editing back and forth between the timelines is perfect because they add text clues but also the coloring is different. I do weekly recaps on my TikTok channel and my audience and I are having a blast trying to figure out what's all going on. I love how the 4 main characters are like a merry band of misfits who get into all sorts of trouble on top of a murder. It's fun and light but full of drama lol. I do wish first seasons were longer than 10 episodes to give shows more of a chance for a season 2.
