On the Verge

Could only get part way through episode 3 before I jumped to the end to see how it ended. All the way through I couldn't help but think about the Seinfeld, "show about nothing" comment.

The show is different, kinda realistic but not that typical realistic we are used to on this type of comedies. Each character had their likable and unlikable aspects and this I loved. A couple of scenes were too cringy for my tasted, the acting was mostly good, maybe some aspects of the stories needed more development, but hey! It's comedy! Or "dramedy".

Funniest dinner scenes that I have seen in a long long time. Well worth a look.

Loved this show, just put it on randomly and watched the whole thing in almost 1 sitting. The writing is very funny and sharp and shows a ton of wit and humanity.

(Btw a bunch of the negative reviews here seem to be because there is some French is spoken in the show and apparently those people get confused when hearing another language. Says it all about the quality of the reviews here, but anyway...)

Its addictive, and also a bit awful. All the husbands are terrible people. The women are mostly vapid and boring, except I want to see where the story with the Yasmin character is heading. I think Elisabeth Shue absolutely saves this show, she's the only one I related to at all. I'd like to see more of her with her mom, Stephanie Powers. Julie Delpy is subtly funny, I had no idea she had comedic chops. I find myself rooting for her husband's demise. The Elle character was painful to watch. Just awful. I got to the point that I couldnt stand her face. If they do another season, I'd like to see Elle fall off a cliff or something.
