It was fun. It is nice to see a show about older women who are so different. I hope they make a second season.

very funny, and not the same old shit.
since i am in the middle of a late life divorce, it seems extra real to me.
but i do sorta second the comment above that i wish i were in their so very financially secure shoes.

but love the cast. i think that jane and lily are pretty much playing themselves. they are a riot together.
def worth watching.
