Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
motherval I really enjoy the show but I feel like there are so many commercials that it probably runs for about 15 minutes an episode. Most of the time I record it so I can speed through. If I couldn't do it I would probably stop watching it
AdrienneGrayceMusic I am going to take a shot in the dark here and assume that most of the low ratings here are from men, because this show is on point! I love how they told the truth about what was going on in those times. Women being treated like they were nothing but child bearers who had no skills and had to stay home all day raising the kids while the men could do as they please. The sexism during those times baffles me and this show makes me feel blessed that I was born in the 80s and didn't have to live through all of that. Unless you were a female celebrity, as a woman, you were treated like you were nothing. I love Alicia Silverstone and glad to see her on the small screen. I think the acting is great, at least from the women. I wasn't sure if i would like the show at first but I am now addicted because I let it play out. My advice is to not give up on the show after one episode. It gets better. I'm sure men won't appreciate it as much as women.
giorgiana-murariu I love shows set in that decade. I wished so badly it would be good. It's not. The acting seems fake, storyline and dialog are boring but there is one redeeming quality: Diane's character. If only the show would have her at the centre of it and develop her character and an enticing storyline around her. The actress does portray her very well,and you can actually see nuance as opposed to the flatness of the other 2 female leads. Regardless, I won't be watching anymore, which is a shame. The 5 stars are for the costumes, setting, and Diane.
furryoldman Soulless clap trap with stiff uncomfortable language, predictable cliches for dialogue and no pace. Where is the woman's voice? Won't last the full season.
