Binged it in two days. And now who knows how long we have to wait for season 3 in the US. The end of August! thank god! I just binged 1&2 and man, that moment literally made me gasp. Grrrrrr!!! I'm confused about Anne's exH. He's Kate's brother right? And that's why Eleanor was all up in Anne's first wedding? Did they brush over any family dynamic stuff when the XH was busted?

The dad's death I felt they glazed over a lot. They showed Kate more depressed about her job than him. Watching that over the last few days was a real gut punch, since today is the 4th anniversary of my Dad's own freak accident. I would have expected more grief since they appeared close, instead of passing comments from others and her awkwardly laughing about it. (Although I know we all grieve differently). Not a fan of how that was handled.

I just finished season 2 yesterday. I'm glad season 3 will be out soon. I was not expecting that ending with Nathan. It will be interesting to see how Kate handles this.

Kate's mom was all up in Anne's wedding because, well, she's Kate's mom and wants to be the center of attention.

Binged season 2 in a day and a half. Soo good. The writing is really impressive. I called that relationship (dont want to spoil) from the jump. I'm surprised because I'm usually so oblivious to plot twists.

I'm pretty sure there is one episode when Nathan calls mean nanny to watch their son because Kate is busy working both jobs. So that's probably how it started.

Just finished season 2. Kate annoyed me a bit this season but also has some really really hilarious stuff. I just flip flopped a lot with liking her this season until the end....then I felt bad.

It feels so weird to be a season ahead in Canada. I didn't like season 3 at all, not that it was different in style to 1 or 2, I just didn't like the story line. I'm excited to talk about it though!

I finished today. I didn’t have the same negative reactions to Kate. Her job was her identity and she lost it. I understand the not fully grieving her dad thing right away since she was already pretty depressed and numb. She did grieve it at some point and I think her mistakes were a big part of that grief. Idk, I guess I didn’t see anything wrong with it.
I also understand not telling about the cancer thing. The Dr never said it might be cancer. She came to that conclusion through google and her husband was away and her test was done prior to his return so I understand not pulling him into the crazy spiral until there is a legitimate concern.
Not talking to her dh about big changes is obviously a huge issue but it seems their marriage wasn’t that translucent anyway with him pushing a second baby right away. It made me wonder if he’s just as bad and I often felt like he wasn’t listening to what she wanted and was never fully supporting her career, even before Montreal. He seems to want a SAHM and that’s just not her.
I loved Anne and Lionel this season and I love how Alice is so much like her.
I’m enjoying seeing more of the guy (forgot his name) vs his wife’s issues. It’s nice to see some stuff from his view.
I’m glad the curly haired one (forgot her name too and I literally just finished an hour ago) is seemingly getting her life back together.

I just finished binging. I can’t wait until the end of the month.
Anne and Lionel are by far my favorite plot line. The XH surprised me. I love Lionel; he’s so sweet and supportive.
I like how they shifted to Ian the second season because I really didn’t like his wife. He is a good dad.
I don’t like Kate much and have side eyed her since the Montreal thing in S1. I don’t understand how she just doesn’t include Nathan in anything. I figured he would be done at some point, but I’m really disappointed in the cheating angle. Especially with who it’s with. So strange. He seems so straight laced that even in the flashback, he and Kate didn’t seem like a match. But that relationship?! Wtf?!
I didn’t like the Frankie plot line at all this season. I’m glad she is getting back on the right path though.

wedding I agree with almost all your thoughts. I like Kate and from the beginning her ambition was clear and I feel much of the shit she got for it would have never happened to a man.

I agree that she was very ambitious and I like that part of her and identify with it. I feel for her and the sexism she encounters, as someone in a male dominated field. However, I absolutely think her lack of treating her husband as an equal partner in their relationship is effed up. And she did it time and time again, starting with Montreal, then the two jobs, then starting her own company. He was never involved in any decisions.

I didn’t think she’d go that low. Shit sorry. Kind of spoiler. I don’t know if she legally does but gives up primary custody. She says she doesn’t feel like she is supposed to be a mom.
