1/10
Dallas meets Heathers meets Desperate Housewives

Warning: Spoilers
I wanted to like this, I really did. It looked like it could be an ironic and sarcastic comedy about religion mixed with southern culture done in an intelligent way and the cast is really good looking. But no, they have to go for the kitschy, moronic and stereotypical jokes. Rote, formulaic, repetitive, redundant (I did that on purpose)... These people never left high school and are still holding grudges into their 30s or whatever age they are supposed to be. It's all about revenge on the prettiest girl who has had to move back in with her rich mother in Dallas because of her (now dead) no good husband. All of her former classmates only want to get their revenge on her. Then they go to church and try to embarrass each other there too. The husbands are mostly handsome and clueless (of course one is gay) and the wives are only concerned about their social standing and (of course) their next revenge plot. I watched the pilot and thought it had potential. But each episode has fallen into the same pattern what's being planned next and how is the plot going to be spoiled. You can watch 3 episodes and have had more than enough. Just a sickening waste of time.
