[quote=Anonymous]Just binge watched it.  I did like it and the acting and dialogue was very good (although I always think nicole Kidman seems kind of stoned in her "serious" roles).  But after all I heard about this portraying "real women" I was a little disappointed on a couple of fronts.

Mainly I felt like it bought into this idea of motherhood being this transformative thing that is a source of such joy and satisfaction.  There were so many shots of adorable 6 year old kissing their mommies goodbye or running joyfully and in slow motion into their arms at the end of the day.  Where were the 6 year olds screaming at their moms that they weren't going to school today because they made the wrong muffins or their shoe laces were too short or something dUmb like that?   Maybe if you live on the beach and your kids go to a sweet school with only about 10 kids in the 1st grade class, your 6 year olds are never tired and cranky?  there was the one scene in the car where Madeline and Celeste talk about how they needed something more than just motherhood in their lives, which was a nice scene, but I still thought the whole thing played into the idyllic notion of motherhood with the beautiful sweet children.[/quote]
