I enjoyed this show and if they make a second season I will watch it. It is not groundbreaking stuff, it relies too much on constant sex scenes, and some of the actors aren't great (though a few of the main ones are, in my opinion) BUT it was an interesting show to watch on maternity leave. (Anecdote: my 4 month old was teething the week I watched this, needing extra naps on me, so I will forever associate this show this teething now).
Sarah Shahi is gorgeous and a talented actress. I liked seeing a hot 40 year old Mom of three as the lead. Billie's character was genuine and passionate and slightly different than what has been done before. Cooper's character is also different: the man who has it all realizing he doesn't and feeling insecure. I won't pretend that the Bras character is anything new.
Honestly, it is somewhat relatable. I don't relate specifically to Billie, I don't have a wild past or ex that I want to leave my family for. But the question of "can you have it all?" and trying to grieve your old life and embrace your new life as a parent is real.
So again, in short, I don't see why people hates thus show quite so much.
