I'm trying to slog through episode 4 and it is boring the hell out of me. Trippy stuff is not at all interesting when you are not the one tripping.

Might not finish this show.

I've only watched the first episode of season 2, but I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed. This one seems much more... campy, for lack of a better word. I liked the first season because it felt like all the characters were real people, not caricatures. And I also can't stand Annie Murphy.

Three quarters into the first episode, I was shocked by how bored I was. Usually it's not so hard for me to give shows a chance but it felt like work.

I love several of the actors, so will keep trying!


Did season 1 not do whole book? I have not seen either season but read book. Curious if Hulu writing new story?

I've watched the first 2 episodes of season 2 and it's missing...something. It's not drawing me in like season 1 did.

I wonder if it's because I waited to watch season 1 until all episodes were released and then watched them over 2 evenings.

I thought it was... ok. I absolutely loved the Melissa McCarthy / Bobby Cannavale romance. We don't often see MM in a role like that and I was struck again by how beautiful she really is.

I did not like the Jessica character. The constantly halting way she spoke was so, so annoying. I found Ben very irritating too and thought their storyline was underwritten/boring.

The Marconi family acting was wonderful - I was especially impressed with the actress playing Zoe. What a gut-wrenching storyline.

So, am I understanding correctly that Jessica and Ben took over Tranquillum at the end? And Masha went... where, exactly?

I gather there's a second season - is it worth watching?


I admit I didn’t finish the first season. I just wasn’t invested - though I loved the Melissa storyline, but that was pretty much it. If you liked Zoe, highly recommend you watch “Tell me lies” - a drama about college kids with a fair about of sex scenes - it’s good LOL. The actress in a real life is I believe the niece of Dick Van Patton and I agree she’s very compelling on screen.

I’m coming back for the second season because of the cast. Annie Murphy, who played Alexis on Schitt‘s Creek, Henry Golding, who I think it’s adorable. And Christine Baranski, who I love.

Good god I feel like I'd like this more, but it is SO HARD to look past Nicole Kidman's burn victim look. Why oh why do women do this to themselves, deliberately?!

It was like they rammed everything together just to finish it up as quickly as possible.

I still hated Nicole as Masha. I absolutely loved Melissa and Bobby in this though.


Nope you aren’t the only one. Terrible terrible TV. The cast was good and the acting was good but they were given nothing to work with. The ending was terrible a real “and they all loved happily ever after” fairy tale type stuff. It didn’t match the rest of the show at all. I didn’t believe for a second any part of it.

I was nervous about the ending and where it would take us. Though it was good.

I came for the cast and scenery and soundtrack. Glad I stuck it out.

I don't remember her doing that, but presumably it was something about her turning it all into a book.


No. It was something like, never up never in. Something frances' father used to say to her when she was young..


Thank you, I kept rewinding but couldn't figure it out either.
