    Had a very difficult time watching the entire thing. Just kept thinking it was going to get better, sadly it did not. I was very disappointed, not funny at all.

    I liked the overall premise of the series. However, after watching a few episodes, I became disappointed. What thirty-something women speak like they do? "Totes Kewl"? "Adorbs"? "Body be bangin'"? There was actually a recent commercial showcasing these idiotic sayings. Seriously, I've never heard anyone over the age of 15 speak like that. Humor can be achieved without immatureI liked the overall premise of the series. However, after watching a few episodes, I became disappointed. What thirty-something women speak like they do?

    There has not been so much overacting since the Silent Films era. Almost funny.......
    These 2 women are not Lucy and Ethel nor even Shirley and Laverne.

    When the material is overly familiar--Emma running into her high school boyfriend, the predictably quirky characters who populate a small town--their timing lifts it up a few notches.

    As at the Friars, the humor gets low at times, but the characters themselves do not; which is not to say that they keep their dignity. The conversation is long on riffing and syntactically comical constructions.

    As in the earlier show [NBC's "Best Friends Forever"], both Parham and St. Clair create likable characters we wouldn’t mind following through strange, poignant, absurd, comic and ultimately endearing adventures. But those adventures get diluted here, at least on the back-to-back opening night episodes, by heavy-handed scenes you don’t expect or want in a USA show.
