I'm not sure why it gets such great reviews. It's really JUST OK. There are some very funny parts, but there are characters, main characters, who would drive anyone into insanity. Oh, just got why the great reviews. But honestly, it's something that should be seen and accepted as a beginning. It's not great, at times not even good, but it was a first attempt at a soap opera satire. So, as a 1st attempt, it's as subtle as a sledgehammer. It's comparable to the Wright Bros. Airplane--- something that had to be made so that future and much better things could be created. I wish I could have seen the year without the main lead, because that would have gotten rid of the worst part of it. Yes, it's interesting to see the decline of someone, but she was incredibly annoying, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE YELLS FOR NO REASON. YES, I KNOW THAT WAS THE POINT BUT HOLY MOLEY, is it annoying. Sorry, but just mimicking a soap and pretending it's satire, isn't actually intelligent. It's just a copy. It was a good satire early on, then about 60% or so just became a soap copy. Fun but, not actually worth watching.
