SIAP

Started watching this show last weekend and made it through season 1. Pretty mediocre, but the wife seems to enjoy it.

So is it worth finishing? I'm leaning toward bailing on it.

Seems like a lot of gratuitous sex for no reason.

....which I generally have no problem with but this seems really contrived.

It was ok, I would probably stick it out if I were you...
I have never seen more people having sex and not seeming to enjoy it in my life

Season one was the only solid season. If you didn’t like that definitely don’t finish it.

The one girl he's cheating on his wife with has major duck lips.

Season 2 was fine.

Season 3 was awful.

I recently went back and tried to finish the series but could not make it through season 5.

The final season was so out there it didn’t even feel like the same show.

IMO the first season was by far the best. Bail. It only goes downhill from here. Would have been better as a limited series. 10 episodes, over and done.

Maybe Season 5 spoilers - but who cares, if you haven’t seen it, don’t bother, seriously.

Season 5 was some of the worst television I’ve ever seen - I watched episode 7, I think, last night and I’m done. I don’t care how it ends; I hope they all drown, including that annoying Trevor - but not Whitney or Stacey.
The whole future thing w Joannie was stupid and contrived to push the leftist climate change agenda.
It’s so bad it would be funny, but it was wasn’t funny, just bad.
And Joannie saying her grandmother wouldn’t let her watch the super moon bc of the n’or Easter blowing through, and eventually that’s how she figured out Alison didn’t kill herself, really?
And Helen? I’m sorry she’s not some great beauty that everyone man she meets falls madly in love; she’s homely and is a bitch.
Using the black principal and her kid to check the BLM box, was so poorly done.

Seasons 1 & 2 great TV
Season 3 okay
Season 4 not good
Season 5 terrible, just terrible

The ending was good. Season 1 was good too. The rest pretty much sucked.

I finished it.. Wasn't that bad but it does get kinda ridiculous at the end.

I watched the first season maybe the second....

Why does the girl having the affair in the beginning get bent over and screwed outside for Noah to watch?

Someone that watched all of it tell me the ending...

Last I remember Noah went to jail for his ex wife running over the weirdo guy?

Watched seasons 1 & 2 years ago. Decided to rewatch and finish and I agree with the board mostly:

Season 1 and 2 are good, really good even
Wheels started coming off in 3
Seasons 4 and 5 are bad

They bit off more than they could chew with the social issues IMO.



SPOILERS: Season 4 & 5


The best part of the ending was Noah imparting his wisdom and basically saving Joanie. That was good and summed up the show.

Hated the way they handled the Allison/Ben story.

I lol'd when Cole got up and sprinted off with the ashes at the funeral.

Yeah, you must not have gotten to the MeToo stuff yet.

And his kid Martin looks like a young Grayson Allen. Very punchable face.

Are you kidding me?? They managed to squish MeToo in with racism and climate change into the final season of a show whose original premise had nothing to do with the Triple Crown of SJWs? So glad I stopped watching when the writers didn’t realize you can’t see the moon when a storms a brewing.

I got into some of the characters like Noah so I finished it. Hated parts but I liked the finale, I’ve watched the flash mob video 100x probably. Was nice to see Noah do something good and change in the end
