Grosse Pointe Garden Society

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.

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 think the show could be good. The actors were good, the storyline is interested. But there is one big issue with it. The constant changing of time. It makes it difficult to follow when and where things are happening. I really like the personalities involved, that they're all brought together by this one club. I like their dynamic too. But when a single episode changes times a half dozen times, I start to lose interest, especially if you're not paying super close attention to it and miss the sign that the time changed again. I like the mystery idea of not knowing who was murdered and wish I could keep going with the show. But it has a major flaw that was just too much.

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 just don't understand the bad reviews here. I love this show! It's one of our new favorites. There are so many twists and turns, and it's very suspenseful. It does remind me a lot of HTGAWM, which was another favorite. I like the quirky characters and the writing. The actors are good in their roles. The back and forth and way they present the time frame are interesting to me. Soooo many hateful, cruel people you can see why someone got murdered! Someone else recommended to me, and I'm glad I listened. Always ends on a cliffhanger, leaving you waiting for more. And I just can't wait til next episode!
