I am just getting around to watching this. The first thing I noticed is that apparently you can say ‘shit’ on Bravo. ” I haven’t seen you since we had a white president” was kind of funny. The Thai/ Tibetan confused brushed off with “same noodle different sauce” also amusing. I haven’t heard a single joke than mentions ethnicity in years. I thought they shot folks for that these days. Oh and now a Cherokee Indian joke.
Okay halfway through episode one I am already bored.
Episode two is apparently about death and cemeteries. This does not bode well.
I don’t understand why the Mom has such a crappy, tacky apartment if they are supposed to be on the Upper East Side?
This show is dumb.
Lasted about five minutes before deciding that this show sucked. Props to you for making it through an entire episode. I just don’t understand how anyone is supposed to relate to this show? At least the real housewives make me feel better about my life for being so dumb the majority of the time.
I really wanted to like this. It was boring. Really boring. I thought 90% of each “Girlfriend’s Guide” was also really boring. Maybe Bravo just can’t do scripted shows. Well, that aren’t billed as “reality”.
I’ve never heard of a mom stripping down to her underwear and dancing with her kids.
What in the heck WAS the purpose of her stripping down? I didn’t get it.
Fruity tutty mom..
I thought that shit was hella funny and awkward. The main chick is so weird to look at…I can’t stop looking at her face, for some reason. Her SIL & MIL are pretentious as can be while she is trying to put up with it. Girl’s Doctor best friend is a trip too. To each their own
I couldn’t stand the greasy hair!
I gave up after the first two episodes. I couldn’t figure out why we were supposed to care or root for the main character. All those glib one liners but no humor, no character development just a big pile of meh.
I’m not a fan. There are only a few clever quips amidst a sea of cliché.
This is for sure a show that is trying way too hard. Not good at all.
I could not get into it. :/ Too bad. Was hoping it would be funny.
The main girl is Drew Barrymore’s SIL.
-Shit you learn from Instagram-
Agree with all y’all, I tried to get through ep 1 twice, didn’t work, gave up, freed some DVR space, done.
I don’t know what this show is, but I do know I love this review.
I do not get the mom stripping down to her underwear for dance parties with kids. Why?
I LOOVED the Girlfriend’s Guide because I had something in common with Abby. I’m newly 40, single, starting all over without a guy. I rooted for Abby and her damn cute husband. The clothes her lawyer wore. Love that show.
I tried watching this show and couldn’t get into it. The one character who was suppose to represent me seemed whiny. I stopped watching after awhile and just thought I’m not in this show’s demographic. I live in New York on the Upper Eastside but am not rich & no kids. So it all seemed petty like “oh rich people problems”. Didnt make me wanna aspire to be them either like Sex in the City did.
Yeah, it was very much a “rich people problems” show, but I found their apartment so tacky! Maybe it’s jus because of all the kid’s shit everywhere?

I watched three episodes tonite and I love it!!! Main character so quirky, can’t wait till next episode.
3rd generation native New Yorker, I love this program, if you live in NYC/Tri state area you will really get the jokes. And to explain why their apartment is so crappy, the joke is that they live east of Lex, so they’re not properly in the UES. And the meta joke is that the show’s creator and star is the daughter of the president of Chanel, and grew up in pretty much the ideal gold coast of the UES. I love this show, I hope it will be around for a long time.
I preferred Kenya’s Life Twirls On as opposed to this mess. Happy to hear that I’m not the only one that doesn’t like it at all.
You took the words out of my mouth. If they want quirky humor, why not give a HW a shot at it. The premise of Kenya’s show was funnier and relatable.
I love the show, it is so funny, her girlfriend is great!!! TT I hope the show will grow on you.
Her girlfriend the doctor is my favorite character and the only one I really like. I think we’re supposed to identify with the main character and how she doesn’t quite fit into this rich family of snobs, but she’s just too crazy ripping the wrapping paper off of someone else’s present in order to write phone messages. The obsession with her kids getting into the right schools is boring. I was kind of excited about seeing her in-laws giving her a makeover, but she refused it, oh well, I’m shallow.
Thanks for taking one for the team! I was curious about this show but probably won’t waste my time on it now.
I am still sort of meh on the show. I did love her Chai (High) Maintenance t-shirt….I have it on a travel mug. To me the show is a cross between The Nanny Diaries book and the documentary film, “Nursery University.” If you ever get a chance to see it, I highly recommend it. It follows families that pretty much lose their minds over getting their kids into pre-schools. One of the people profiled in the film is Aleta St. James. She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, at age 57 — she was the oldest woman in the United States to deliver twins at the time. She is also one of Sonja Morgan’s whack-a-do friends who was in a RHNYC episode a couple of seasons ago.
It kind of reminds me of that Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt show on Netflix. For the most part I get the show, having been the odd mom out myself a few times. But the underwear dance party should have been cut, it was so weird, I don’t know any moms that do that. Summer TV is so boring that I’ll keep giving it a go until I finally don’t care anymore.
Thank you for watching that for us. I would mute the commercials they became so annoying.
Love it, especially the main character and her hubby.
The Soul Cycle spoof was spot on.
Me too! I thought I was the only one. I love that it is snarky with a little bit of humor. I mean if you can watch Housewives why in the hell could you not watch this. I mean it is ten times better than the Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce.
Me too! I think it is hilarious and is making fun of itself! Love the husband and friend!
I love this show and wish they would show two episodes a week rather than just one. I understand how a lot of people don’t get the underwear dancing scene but she seems to always be in her undies when she’s at home. Maybe she just doesn’t like pants. To each their own. There are times that at night before bed I walk around in my tank top and undies, but I don’t have dance parties with my kids.
Love it and hope you keep writing about it.
Meh. I tried. I failed to see the humor. If it is so unique to the NYC lifestyles of the rich and trifling that anyone outside the circle doesn’t get the joke – then it should probably air on the local cable channel. Bravo took a miss on this one…
the girlfriend’s guide to divorce is really good. the little boy (Abby’s son) is adorable with the long haircut.
I found this show tiresome. Didn’t care for the characters and thought to myself, how dumb are these people.
I loved the show. I think the humor takes a little time to get used to. It’s quirky and I love it…but I’m quirky 🙂
Zzzzzzzzzzzz. I fell asleep during the 1st 10 minutes.
The main character is sooooooo annoying. She’s so predictable and not funny. Just like the whole series so far.
this show is super funny. most of the characters are way over the top caricatures and they do it well. it reminds me of Curb Your Enthusiasm (the type of humor and acting)
I like it! Super quirky and witty. First show I wasn’t sure but after episode one the rest have been fun and entertaining to me.
I saw part of the third episode and it was way better than the first two. I may be back in.
