Agree


Or have live in help who are in the house when the owners are out.

I’m really loving the show, which surprises me because I’m not a fan of Jon Hamm. I find him very overrated like Matt Damon - just over them both.

But I’m really liking him in this role and I love Amanda Peet and like that she looks natural. Also think she’s still very attractive even though she had the audacity to age into her 50s.

I think people with wrinkles and lines are beautiful - they tell the story of their life. As long as they still have light in their eyes and are smiling, I think those signs of aging are insignificant.

I have enjoyed the show so far, however the philosophy bits of justification from Hamm are so overdone it’s gotten old.

I like the characters enough, but the whole story is so sad

I did find myself thinking that there's no way this attractive basketball player would want to lock himself down with Amanda Peet, but who knows. You'd think there would be more trophy second-wives and not just the one young waitress.

I don't like the voice-overs that he does. His tone is too monotonous.


I kept thinking, there's no way this attractive basketball player would hang out with these suburban finance dorks.

It’s fun seeing Hamm get back into moral ambiguity after so much villainy. That cliffhanger in the last episode. Who caught him?

I don’t get the Jon Hamm thing, I don’t find him attractive at all. Agree Amanda Peet looks great.

I'm enjoying it. And as a 53 year old woman with crows feet and crepe-y undereyes, I absolutely lOVE seeing Amanda Peet's naturally aging face. I wish more female actors would go that route.

Couldn’t get through the first few minutes. That overly long bar talk dialogue on the “philosophy” of age gap relationships with the Scandal like cadence. Ugh.

Am not a Job Hamm fan a this show only affirmed why.

Unless she doesn't want to. Maybe her weight is where she wants it. But being so thin is a struggle, it's just not worth it, to have the result be to look and age like that.


Maybe it's not a struggle for her.
