[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked it up and Hugh Grant is 60 and Nicole Kidman is 53. They are about 15 years too old to play those characters, even  in Manhattan and for their lifestyle.

Also, their witty sexual banter is like watching grandparents flirt.

Also, leave it to David E. Kelly to have a completely naked woman who is stunning in a locker room in the first episode.

DH and I thought the naked woman looked like Hispanic Jennifer Lawrence.

I’m not sure I can get into this one. It’s supposed to be mocking the ultra-rich, this time in NYC, but it ends up glorifying them. [/quote]

I’m just now starting this series, so I haven’t read the thread - but some things don’t make sense to me.  Elena wasn’t wealthy - her son attended the private school on scholarship.  So how did she swing a fancy gym membership?  Also, why doesn’t Grace ever ask Jonathan why he pretended to go to a medical conference in Cleveland?  What was the point of that story, made up before the evening when Elena was killed?[/quote]

A specialist in his position would go to conferences at least a few times a year, so pretending he was still going to conferences was a necessary part of maintaining the illusion that he was still employed.

NP. This was one part that didn't make sense to me. Even if they are a high income household with separate accounts, wouldn't his wife notice that his paychecks had stopped coming, or that they got dropped from their health insurance or that his work emails bounced or something? I find it really hard to believe you could be unemployed for months without your spouse figuring out that something was up. Also, she never ran into any of his colleagues or their spouses or former patients on the street or at the gym or anything? You'd think word would have gotten to her one way or another within a few weeks that he was out of a job.[/quote]
