I watched a bit and don't really like it too much.
Maybe it was made for women only.

You mean the fake Aussie accent from this guy?

Yes, the show is stupid but guess what? It's based on a book, and that book is a true-life experience. In the book, the writer journals about four ex-lovers (not just one) and, just like the series, her husband finds her journal and ups his game!

Now I was totally surprised to hear that, because I figured the only reason this series existed was to out-do Bridgerton (which BTW, I won't even care about now that the Duke's not coming back). And wow, out-do it did.

However, the plot really got old towards the end of the season (the constant back-and-forth). I haven't the slightest idea how we're supposed to be interested in Season 2, which looks like it's just gonna be a re-hash of Season 1.

I enjoyed it.
The characters were good looking...that always helps.

I guess it would be considered like a chick flick.

And, I could relate to some of it...from my youth.

You would hope in Season 2 they would somehow flip the plot. It can't be just another season where she continues to flip flop her emotions between the 2 guys.

I don't even pay attention to the Netflix trash shows like that one. I prefer some of the Korean shows, although some of these are starting to get trashy too. But there are a great number of Korean shows that my wife and I enjoy watching. Most of the trashy shows are produced in the West, however.

I have been spending more time watching some of the Asian shows at "viki.com" than Netflix, but I started watching a Korean show at Netflix titled, "You Are My Spring." It is sort of a thriller, with romance.

Other Korean shows I enjoyed watching at Netflix are as follows:

a. Night Of The Alhambra
b. The King
c. Vincenzo
d. Sisyphus
e. My Holo Love
f. Live UP To Your Name
g. It's OK to Not Be OK
h. Crash Landin On You
i. Voice
j. DoDoSolSol LaLaSol
k. The Uncanny Counter
l. One Spring Night
m. The K2
n. My Mister


There are a few other more Korean shows.

I just binged all 8 episodes last night staying up till 8 am. It was so good I couldn't stop watching! I really hope Bille doesn't cheat with that loser ex-boyfriend, Brad. Bille was doing better with Cooper and trying to work things out. Why did Brad have to go to that book event for Sasha? I can't believe Cooper was willing to give up Billie to Brad. I hope Cooper doesn't have an affair with Francesca. If Sasha knew how bad Brad was why did she keep hooking up with him?

It will be interesting to see what season 2 is like. I hope the writers don't keep messing with Cooper and Billie. I want them to find some sort of happiness so they don't have to cheat.

Kind of Sex and the City-ish but it lacks some of the humor and it needs to focus or round out the cast more... it's just too focused on the protagnist.
