This is not a deep, thought provoking, realistic, thoroughly relatable series. But I like it! Before I go into the positives and why I continued watching it after r adding the horrible reviews, and why most people watch it as well, let me touch base on what u don't need to watch it for- reality! What u do need to watch it for-escapism entertainment!
In all honesty the plot lacks depth and the characters are so unaware of a world outside of themselves, middle class-can't even touch lower class, America. I could go on and on about the fact that these women are mostly these independent, sexy, older, life after divorce, social conscious, business savvy women, when in reality they only excel at one of those descriptors-sexy. They get close on business savvy, but once u are aware of their job titles, there isn't any real working going on for the most part. Example, a partner in a law firm that gets billionaires wouldn't have that much time and energy to have such an engaging social life.. at least not without some type of speed addiction.
But, I didn't watch this for anything but entertainment and escape. And if that's what ur looking for, if accomplishes that in spades!!!the eye candy offered for all specificities is covered!!! It's got color, beauty, hot men and women, etc! The storylines are relatable on the surface and then when u realize that they have kids and yet manage to never be home, jobs but never work, wardrobes that know no budget, u realize, it's not real for most of us. But I who wants that always??? The characters are likable and u do cheer for them when they win and hope for them when they fail! The acting is good and the actors sale every scene!
So figure out what kind of show u want and if u are looking for a sexy life beyond the life we all live everyday, this is a great show! And fun! It's really fun to watch!!! Enjoy a summer binge!!!
