But good LORD that Mike guy is a sight to behold. We need to bring back I’d Hit That Thursday just to post his pic all over it. Preferably one with all the tats. That is the best-looking man I have seen in quite a while.

Anne’s daughter skeeves me out, what a little sociopath. But Anne is nuts, too. I feel like she’s capable of getting it together and for whatever reason is not.

Jenny is reprehensible. Found myself calling her the C-word multiple times. I liked Ian’s storyline last season, was disappointed he kinda faded out a bit.

Frankie...meh. Her storylines seemed like such an afterthought. And how do you fall in love with someone and have no idea they’re a Jesus freak?

Val, though...more Val. Hysterical. That LSD episode

This is a perfect way to describe all of the characters but especially Kate. SPOILER ALERT!!!! The scenes in the deposition where she was basically treating the whole thing as a joke made me cringe and want to smack some sense into her. Like, obviously we all know the lawsuit was ridiculous but at least be a grown up during your own deposition!!! And with your husband sitting there! Ugh. And totally agree with you on Anne's daughter. I was yelling (in my head) to her little friend to run as far away as possible...

But in s. 3 they all seemed a bit too flawed and a bit too unsympathetic. What was so great about Anne was she was kind of a shitty person, but a good shrink and a good friend. What was great about Kate was that she was loved her work and took no crap. What was great about Frankie was her boundless enthusiasm. In S. 3 all of these things just become personality disorders. I still love the show, but I'm left a little short.

Totally this.

Watching season 3 now and OMG, the LSD episode! I think Val is now my favorite character.

Prude alert

Not the PP, but I agree with her. I still love the show, but wow can it be gross at times.

I loved all three seasons. I’m sad I have to wait for Season 4.

Yes, it"s common. All about control as well as having your cake and eat it, too. A tale as old as time

This part is super gross. I think some men think if a new baby comes that will "snap them out of it" or give them a parachute out of their cheating. It's gross

Yes, this. Except for the cheating part, he’s been utterly supportive understanding patient accommodating to changes and kind. Ideal husband father type. I hope he comes to his senses soon and stops the cheating, but I can understand why he had the transgressions. Kate’s incredibly self centeredness even to her friends and not only to the husband she takes for granted, is off putting. Being bold as a woman is fine, I don’t dislike her for that, but she’s way too self important and abrasive. I can’t stand her. I also dislike Jenny. I actually like the psychologist/psychiatrist character despite her seemingly cold side to the outside world.

I agree, she's completely self-absorbed like the other pp mentions links to her being blindsided by the affair.

I liked this show until I thought more about it, and realized that it makes all the women unlikable (except for potentially Frankie's ex), and all the men deserve sympathy. It's like it's Jenny's ex's screenplay, where the only good guy is the SAHD.

NP here. I also dislike how they portray Jenny and Ian. WTF, The first episode he made her go back to work so he could stay home and write a screenplay. I feel like all of Jenny’s issues with being a parent probably stem from that! Yet let’s paint her as an irresponsible mother and the former lazy unmotivated boyfriend as the heroic single father.

That is bs.

That is great news- I had watched Season I, then binge watched Season II, and now I have season three!!
