There is a literacy drought m Holliywood. How else can so many wonderful actors give themselves over to bad, sub-literate scripts that end up being predictable - showing the material is not all that edgy after all.
I tuned in to watch the first few episodes. They were slow and I could often predict each character's comic punchline. I respect both Jane and Lily as marvelous masters of the craft of acting, but I have to wonder what they truly think of the scripts they're given.
The politically correct treatments of things are also tiring. Edgy cannot coexist with PC. Apologies to all, but edgy is its own brave province, whereas PC is just a tired and cowardly old village.
10 stars for principal cast. 1 star for scripts. 3 stars for boring secondary actors (those kids! Yikes!)
4 stars.
