the character of Rosie's super-fake woykin' class new yawk accent. she is obviously laying it on very thick. it sounds ridiculously fake. is she British or something?

the multi-ethnic mix of characters is fine. New York is like that.

but that level of entitlement from the stay-at-home wife of an artist only comes with years of higher education and privilege. a working-class New York mother would have smacked her own kid on the ass and said, "play nice!" that would have been the end of it.

speaking of accents we get it, Aisha is from england. her character can stop saying "bloody and petrol and knickers". we get it.

haven't watched the third episode yet. running out of patience for this.

also, who the hell is the narrator? why is there a narrator?

I saw this because it stars most of the cast of Bridesmaids and Adam Smith (who is great on Parks & Recreation).

I was shocked and offended by the old-school sexism of this movie. characters who don't feel the need to marry are referred to as an "affront". characters who don't want children are show to be mean and selfish.

this is a swing back to pre-stonewall and pre-feminist times.

this is why American are seen as provincial and homophobic-- because mainstream American culture IS provincial and homophobic. when films like this set out to define a "new normal" they disregard the fact that they are also defining a new abnormal.
