Entertaining

I was looking for some mindless entertainment and this hit the spot. Provided relief from the everyday apocalyptic news and endless self help recommendations.

Loved it!

Okay, yes the story was silly but the acting was great. I’m a big fan of Judy Greer and I thought she was hilarious. I think you have to be a woman over 40 to truly appreciate it though.

Not for the boring and easily disturbed

To be honest it was all the bad reviews that made me follow through with this series. I saw someone call it "terrible" and disgusting" and I thought, okay I need to know whats so bad about it. It actually was great to me. Its a great satire that deals with issues we are really facing as women living in the western world. The shame of our narcissistic mothers, the pressure of the cult like woketivists trying to peddle their "healing" life coaching programs, work outs and supplements, the rediculous beauty standards, addictions to unhealthy consumerism, and dysfunction in families. Its a great reminder that overcoming your personal demons helps you, your family, and if you turn around and share what you know potentially affects and wakes up the other people in your community. Its gross sure, if you are faint of heart, can't take satire, and never had a period or touched yourself lol. this is great and hillarious if you lean into absurdity.

Really great.

As a trans person, I really loved how the trans character was handled and how the other characters talk about and to her. There were a lot of opportunities for transphobia I was worried about but instead the author just makes her completely true to character. A certain scene did indeed "strike close to home"... that's *exactly* how you should use the fact she's trans. The story isn't even about her though. While it's incredibly obvious where things are going to go, it's also an incredibly hilarious journey to get there.

Had potential but plot got ridiculous

Loved the performances of Judy Greer and Kim Catrall. And I was hooked after the first episode. But then it got all supernatural and ridiculous. If they just would have kept it in reality it could have been great. However I found my eyes rolling more and more. Plus they tried a bit too hard to be edgy so it didn’t land.
