Is anyone watching this? I am watching episode one and I'm enjoying it. It has funny people in it.

I forgot this was coming out today. I may try to watch an episode or two tonight once the littles are in bed.

Thanks for reminding me! I saw a trailer a while ago and thought it looked good. I know what I'm doing once my kid goes to bed!

There is a ton of cheating in this show. In the first 2 episodes, it's all cheating.

I hadn't heard of it before your post but recognize a lot of names in it. I'll check it out this weekend.

Episode 4 is pretty heavy about IVF and it's intense, just in case anyone isn't in the place to see this.

I didn't get it. They all seemed sad and miserable. It wasn't that funny either in the good parts. The SOs telling them to move on was the best advice.

I like it so far. The cheating is pretty uncomfortable but they break it up with funny stuff. We are only two episodes in. Interested to see where it goes. I love love Fred Savage.

Made it through a few episodes today. It's not what I really expected. It's sense of humor is great when it's funny, but it's not a comedy. I'm ok with it so far, but I need to adjust my expectations.

I'm watching episode one right now and I'm uncomfortable. We'll see how it goes but I don't know.

Well, I just binged episodes 5-8 and it stayed depressing. I did like how it showed cheating as a shitty, messy thing. It's like, I didn't like anything about the show, but I would still watch season 2. I don't know why.

I like most of the actors a lot so even though it was depressing and uncomfortable I still liked the show. Although I skipped a lot. And wouldn't watch it for fun. LOL.
Does anyone else remember Sam as Julia from As The World Turns? Probably not but I've loved her since then.

I want to like it because I like a lot of the actors but I just don't. I hate cheating storylines in general anyway. I was expecting a comedy. There are a few random funny parts but as a whole it's just depressing.
I think I'm on episode 5. I didn't look to see how many there are? Not sure if I want to finish it or not.
As someone who has been through it, I do like that they are showing a bit of how shitty infertility/IVF is. That was so hard to watch though.

I finished it last night but eh. Spoilers stuff ahead ***
The IVF stuff was really hard to watch but I appreciate that they didn't just gloss over it. There were parts during that I laughed out loud at. (ETA: Sorry there was supposed to be a line break here. I laughed at some of the IVF stuff like when he threw another chair through a window but I really meant through the whole show there were parts I laughed out loud at) The drunk driving thing was really uncomfortable to watch. And the cheating. My god the affair storyline just straight up pisses me off. It's my button I know, but in general I think they are doing kind of a terrible job at it. I get they are trying to make them nuanced and dynamic and not just black and white bad or good but I just have no sympathy for them. They are not likeable people Sam and Ethan. And the way they talk about Lisa makes me physically ill. And I HATED that they had Lisa sleep with Nick. Hated. I'm not sure I'll watch a second season.

I started the 3rd episode last night but didn't get to finish it before I started falling asleep. I'll keep watching, but like everyone else the cheating stuff is uncomfortable to watch. I do like Fred Savage - it was a nice surprise to see him in it. TBH, I wouldn't have pushed play if I didn't see that Billy Eichner (sp?) was in it. I love Difficult People so I'll give anything he's in a chance.

I have pretty much the exact same feelings as you. I hated all the cheating. Sam and Ethan were horrible. I hated that Lisa slept with Nick. The drunk driving was awful. I really doubt I will watch a second season.

I'm on episode 3 and I don't even find it that funny. Keegan Michael Kee is usually funny but I'm not getting it. He seems like a nice guy but he's been cheating on his wife for freakin forever.

I typically find Keenan Michael Key very sexy and this show is crushing my boner for him.

Fred Savage makes it so far, love that guy.

I'm only three episodes in, and scrolled fast through spoilers. Just had to add that Feed Savage cracks me up. He had some nice little remarks and dancing that made me laugh.
I don't know how the rest will go, but I like it so far. I don't like the characters but I empathize with various elements of their stories.

We watched all but the last episode (I did not read the spoilers in this thread. I like it. There were some parts that really made me laugh. I also loved Fred Savage! I found that I related to some of the stuff like how when you get with your old group of friends your SO usually feels left out (or vice versa). I mean I don't love cheating obviously, but I think that what is going on is something that very well can and does happen. It just doesn't bother me that much as a storyline, but I don't have personal experience with it either.

I am on episode 6 and I actually really like it. Maybe I had low expectations because of this thread lol. I think the funny parts are funny. Shrug.

I just finished watching. It's odd, because I was entertained enough to keep watching, but I didn't really enjoy it or like the story.
