On the Reddit thread, fans of the show discussed their reactions, sharing positive feedback on the cast and storylines.
"I laughed multiple times every episode. All the characters were well written and dynamic. A real gem of a show," one person said.
Similar reactions were shared by others in the comments of the thread as well.
"Yes I thought it was great. A nice mixture of drama and comedy. It has some deep themes about middle age and relationships. The cast was truly stellar," another person shared.
"I finished this last night, and oh man. So delightful and funny, and with characters that felt complex and authentic. A gem indeed!" another user agreed.
Many, however, have shared mixed reactions to the show, liking it in some parts but not in others.
"From the title I thought it was going to be like the white lotus. Then I saw The cast and expected it to be hilarious. It wasn’t either, it was, however a very interesting look at aging and how relationships (of all kinds) evolve and change with time. It was really good," one person said.
"really? 3 episodes in and i feel like they over marketed it as a comedy. sure there’s some moments but not really any laugh out loud jokes i was expecting from a tina fey project (compared to her other stuff). i have not seen the movie it’s based on so i am going to chalk it up to that," another person said.
"I thought it started it out good but the last 2 episodes fell flat. Don’t wanna spoil it but a huge thing happens and it seems like the writers didn’t know how to end it so they went for that shock," shared another person.
