...but there was barely any. I don't quite understand what this show is trying to convey. I could not buy the deep and meaningful friendship of the 4 women since their dialogues seemed as if any two strangers could be talking to each other and the episode with the beach, for me, tried way too hard to convince viewers of their deep bonds. Witty dialogues and true support by standing up for each other (not just standing next to a friend) were completely lacking.
All 4 women have relationship issues, especially Justine is treated like garbage by her husband and not once does anyone stand up for their supposed best friends. The dialogues are riddled with repeating the names of the person they were talking to which tried to seem intimate but failed completely. I don't understand how it can be compared to "Working Moms" when one line from that show like "Yeah, you go dude, love you, man" shows deeper connections and care for each other than 3 friends leaving everything behind to meet a friend at the beach.
Most men behaved horribly and instead of following through what Justine yelled at the soccer field "I am not scared of any man!" we watch her being treated like trash by her husband, work colleagues, the photographer and so on.
So every episode you hope that enough is enough and while the small up's (husband giving her a compliment) are followed by extreme low's (husband calling her names) are supposed to be funny, it just leaves you disappointed.
The frantic character of Yasmin, while the most intriguing story-line, does not by any means make sense. Highly intelligent, fluid in many languages, head-strong, brave - those skills are all in her description - but what we get is scared, unsure, irritable, overbearing, exhausting.
In summary, there was great potential, but why would I want to watch another season of a show that just leaves a bad feeling & regret for having given it a chance.
