AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Rob-O-Cop In what could have been an insight into the different lives of a culture we rarely get to contemplate we instead get to focus on a collection of ugly characters believably reflecting the current state of the self centered American psyche. The dialog is witty, the acting is convincing, and the action is believable for the country it comes from, and it's a thoroughly engrossingly unpleasant experience that eventually has you wondering "why am I watching these horrible people?". It's like a lot of American TV of recent years, deriving entertainment from pain & ugliness, and feeding back into the normalisation of that thinking. I got tricked into watching this by the interesting premise and revolted by the self centered side characters to the point of having to abandon the exercise. I don't want these people in my life.
rosypeter-28365 If you have a little patience, you'll soon see the progression of an honest family deemed dysfunctional due to its sheer transparency. The title, cast , story arc , rhythm; literally everything is so perfectly captured in its true essence! To know that so many writers and directors were given the power to experiment in the making of this show and yet remain within each and every character's boundary is another remarkable aspect of this show. I can't help but gulp every episode in an instant. Not going to lie, but perhaps it gives me a relief to know that there are worse scenarios that can invade families than my own issues surrounding my own family; and I know that this story line has to originate from some truth if not the entire truth and still I can dig it. Keep up the work... This is not to be missed.. Specially on the basis of educating the world about gender ambiguity and the trials of transgender people.
poomissy-78516 The characters are all so unlikable. And ugly. Gosh. I cringe looking at them. The makeup, lighting, and wardrobe on this show is awful! I especially despise Sarah. So self centered. Her sexual desires rule everything in her life (she leaves her family for a lust based relationship with a lesbian, while at the cruise she decides to call home to ask her ex-husband if he would be interested in becoming a swinger, not to check on her kids or see how everyone is doing). The only good music I've heard on the show is in the beginning credits. Everyone in the family, except the mother, has had a gay experience. Seems unrealistic. Both daughters end up being lesbians, and the son would have tried out a man if he hadn't found out the guy had HIV. I was really interested in watching this when I read the plot but it's nothing like I expected. It's a disappointment. The flashbacks didn't help.
calpurnia-62329 I did like it at first. As many have pointed out the first season was pretty good but it went down hill in the second season. The oldest sister fighting with her husband seemed very realistic about how a lot of married couples interact. Everyone on TV in the past 7-8 years or so is a lesbian. You can't watch a streaming drama, movie or TV show, set in the present time without a lesbian couple or two. 15 years ago you never saw it or once in a blue moon. The lesbian angle is not shocking and ground breaking and cutting edge. No instead it is the cliché' of the '10s. The way it is presented on these shows it would appear that 50% of all women are lesbians. Now BOTH sisters are lesbians? What was the whole point of the younger Ali meeting the guy at the beach? What a waste of film, it had no point. Ali is a total spoiled brat and doesn't even look for a job. Ack I feel like I should finish all of it though, I am at the end of season 2 but I'm getting more and more annoyed with the idiotic plots and the annoying people. Like they were really going to kill Ed? They were all yapping about doing something that is illegal? Maura is great but his kids suck ass! That rabbi would not look twice at the ugly and non-religious son. His son Colton looks nothing like him, just not believable at all. I am going to plow through but Ali bedding Syd just is ridiculous and the Feminist professor plot line is also ridiculous.
