This series is clichéd to the max .... waste of time for me...

This "Netflix Original" series is not even close to "original anything." It is stuffed full of clichés. To the brim. I watched the first four episodes, and also, the last episode and finally decided not to waste anymore of my time. I will not divulge the ending. Suffice it to say no surprise there. Although I am sure the writers thought it would be a different unique ending, it was not worth it. I know many people will probably like this series - but this is just MY own opinion.

The wife in the series is an actress of some note - and the husband is a rather dim goof who wants to be in politics. So they keep staying together. So tiresome. After the first episode, I was already in doubt, but decided to give it a chance to improve. No. The acting was not very good anyway.

The main characters are getting divorced in order to protect their "out there in the news" lives. You learn this immediately. They are both airheads with very little depth. I didn't see any change or growth in either of them at all - and if it WAS there, it must have been just pale drops of weak tea. So, basically, I quit the series halfway through.

I was hoping for something fresh and new - but I ended up thinking that this is just "romance genre trope". The fabric of the story had old stains all over it - taken from other much better series. Too bad.
