No one was convincing as longtime friends or spouses. It bummed me out how unattractive they all are and how ugly their clothes and stupid hats were. (That's not something I care about and don't know why it makes me cranky except maybe they screwed around with a movie I loved.) The editing and pacing were horrible. Maybe that's what happens when you stretch a single movie into 8 episodes.

This was godawful.


NP - My feelings are along these lines, though slightly less intense. I wanted to love this and enjoyed a lot of it, but was ultimately really frustrated by it.

Yeah, the problem I had with the show is they never really convinced me that Ginni would be with him. I get that he has money, and maybe he was more romantic than guys her age. But all of her friends were not coupled up and she tried to come across it first that she was really into fluidity blah blah blah. And he was super messy with a teen daughter and an ex-wife? I just don’t buy it.

Like why would she get with this older dude and want to hang out his friends? It just wasn’t a convincing relationship to me. And it made no sense that after only a few months, she would’ve done the parents weekend. I also didn’t get that she was a dental hygienist! They should’ve made her the Pilates, instructor or something. It just didn’t track with her friends that she would be a dental hygienist. That’s kind of a working class job and she clearly comes for money as do her friends.

But I will say I did really love the show. It kept me hooked for sure.

Steve Carell‘s character could pass for that. Steve is 62 in real life but is looking pretty good.

The confusing part for me is Anne‘s character. Why do they have her looking so much older. I guess she is supposed to be the old wife left behind for the young girlfriend. But like how old is she supposed to be? My thing is, she’s an attractive woman, and if she would just change and modernize her haircut that would do a lot. It’s just sort of sad that they made her up that way

Tina Faye is still looking like she takes care of herself and is in the game lol


I think that's the point - her hair is truly awful.

She can be morphed into most anything, like on Reno 911, but in this show she's supposed to not be trying with her husband.


but hmm her head shots have almost similar hair. Maybe she needs a (new) stylist



I think she’s an attractive woman. I feel like they just did her a little bit dirty with the hair.


She's beautiful and very funny. When she says a line, it's Trudie. I think that's not such a good thing, but boy I love her.

OmG I haven't seen the original, but every line Kate says hits my gut. is that the original? Or did Tina get in there with some zingers. Like I pay the bills, I manage everything...

I watched this show with my husband this weekend and we enjoyed all the twists and turns. There were some sincerely hilarious moments in here. The play!! The shed! The guitar!!!

I think Tina Fey is a great comedian and comedy writer. I don’t think she is an actor.

Hacks this season is not as good as prior seasons. I’m giving it up.

Pitt was good throughout.

I think she (Anne) is supposed to be a little pathetic so there is more gray area.

Was waiting for it to get good. I refuse to invest hours into a streaming show hoping it gets better.


It's disappointing given the cast. It's just meh. I expected there to be more laughs. I've made it through 4 episodes and will finish it after I make through all of Hacks which IS funny.

I'm halfway through

Doesn't Tina fey write all these? Why does she pick the name "Kate" for herself so much. She looks more like a Linda

The show is a remake and the character was named Kate in the original.


Linda doesn’t really fit with her generation. Anyone in Gen X knows there were tons of Katherines and Katie’s growing up - it’s a very realistic name for this generation. Linda was much more popular about 15-20 years earlier.
