Agree the Ashe character and his daughter can take things a lot of different directions.

I was laughing out loud at last Fridays episode. Poor divorced mom and all that smelly dog poop and neighbor’s port a potty by her pool.

Do people really call the cops on that stuff?

Agree. And they’ve started shooting season 3!

There are plenty of private schools in westchester, and my company (mega finance fund) has a cohort of new grads coming out of those private schools and their moms /dads ivies/over priced southern private schools.


DP. Private schools exist. The overwhelming majority of kids go to public schools there.

His thoughts and narrative demonstrate maturity, thoughtfulness, and caring (coached daughter her his life, opines on parenting, etc.).

But we are to believe he ignored his wife, kids and household in order to make it big at work.

If the above are both true and he has changed for the better, why is he still not apologizing to his Ex or kids?


He has apologized to ex. How many times do you expect him to do it?


He did? When did he acknowledge and apologize for being absent all the time?

Another DP. I don't know the exact episode, but I'm pretty positive he absolutely apologized to Mel. That's why they get along so well, even divorced. He respects her and vice-versa.

Yes I remember this too because both my DH and I thought he shouldn’t have to apologize to her because she’s the one who started banging his best friend.


I’m a woman and I agree with you and your husband.

Towards the end of season 1.


Right and when they went to Princeton, they slept together and had a great time. After that, it seems like all is forgiven.

It does kind of annoy me when couples like this can’t figure out how to make it work - like all marriage is in the long run is a deep friendship and sometimes sex. If you can figure those two things out, you are pretty golden.

I found the two seasons entertaining. Started watching after that Jon Hamm meme in the club, lol.
I thought he would have met a nice woman by now but guess not if he stays in that bubble!
