A truly charming, strong, smart, rational character of Katy facing the challenging world of marriage, teenagers and adults, with just the right amount of bad language. Her remarks are spot-on, calling out the trends for what they are, but she is also growing as a person, especially when realizing that some situations require more understanding than a snarky comment.

Her two friends are a perfection! They are contrasting each-other and they are multi-layered individuals, but always a harmonic tandem of friends ready to elevate each other out of any situation, with a funny comeback at each other's expense. Like they say, you need two friends like these. The kids characters are just what I expect from a contemporary sitcom. It truly reflects the anxiety that young people face today, to be competitive in a world that requires them to be younger and "better", the definition changing from one day to another. The children actors are really talented, they convey the message, know how to sing and dance, can carry out an argument and establish personalities in their own right. I enjoy the snarky comebacks from Oliver about the Katy's "Floridadness" (personally, I'd watch a spin-off of a young alter-ego Katy roaming Florida).

It may be a show about a housewife, but the messages Katy character is making are universal. The confidence and the body image, the respect for the hard work and limited budget, the importance of friendship regardless of traits or social status, the support and persistence, and so on. After a long hard day, this show puts a smile on my face. All in all, I can't wait for the new season to start.… Expand
