Didn't see a thread on it, but wife and I are really enjoying it. Just watched the third episode tonight. Think thr 5th aired today.

Good cast with Kristen Wigg, Laura Dern, Allison Janney, and Ricky Martin (!?!)

Anyone else watching?

Yes, we've been watching it. Great cast, enjoying it so far.

I've seen the first two episodes. Kinda slow moving but it's interesting to see the period fashion, cars and furnishings.

I did not recognize Kristen Wiig. She looked pretty attractive for 50... and good lord Ricky Martin. He looks half his damn age. Whatever he's doing... let everyone else know.

We started it last night, just Ep 1 so far. Kinda slow so far but intriguing.

We shall see......

I was a little late to this party but just finished Season 1. Great cast and I am a big fan of anything and everything set in the mid to late 60's / early 70's.

Wiig should get some Emmy love for this, maybe a win. She was a powerhouse in her role.

Allison Janney can play a beeeotch as well as anyone in Hollywood. And Carol Burnett has still got it.

And I just now looked at IMDB and found out that the Shiny Sheet writer is Natalie from Facts of Life. Wow.

Thought it was great. Definitely went a completely different direction from what I thought it was going to be based on the first episode. Hopefully they give it another season.

Agreed. This was Wiig's "Ted Lasso" - she absolutely owned the part.

Carol Burnett was perfect. Who else could they have gotten to play an older person that's villainous - yet you kind of like her - with communication/health issues and have fun with it just enough to not actually mock elderly people? Her.

I was also really impressed with Ricky Martin. His role got better as the series went on.

I hope it gets a 2nd season.

I loved it. They even pulled off the goofy whale episode.

Just renewed for season 2, shooting scheduled to start end of September.

8 episodes in so far, after the first few episodes I thought it was going to be a tight little story but it has been meandering for a couple of episodes. I'll finish it tonight, but I don't think I'll end up rating very highly. Lots of good performances. I do feel like Kristen Wiig and Laura Dern are playing characters way younger than they are. Idk maybe that's how high society women acted in the 60s. Idk any details about bruce and Laura's relationship, but I wonder if any interactions they had on the show were inspired by their real relationship

it totally went off the tracks. By the end, you'll be angry you wasted your time.

I did get the feeling that a big part of her doing this show was to have one last chance to work with her dad, which was sweet.

I did get a kick out of kristen wiig teaching Cindy Crawford's daughter how to runway walk
