Some reviews on here seem to be taking the divorce within the show, VERY personal. I'm 26, never married, and I was brought up by a divorced mother in a middle-class home. My mom and I LOVE this show although we obviously cannot relate to the materialism and privilege and a lot of other things.
Those who are hating on the show, have probably been divorced before, or maybe they're married, Or they are comparing it WAY too much to Sex and The City. Look, It's a fun and entertaining show about a writer who made all of her money and her career out of books that gave advice to women on how to live their lives. Which is ironic because she end up having an emotional affair, she gets a divorce, and her life becomes out-of-control. I obviously can't relate to living in $1 million home, Receiving $40,000 dollars a month for alimony alone, or having the privileges and opportunities and time and wealth that these women have. Yes they are incredibly materialistic, and rich, but it's just a television show that's there for entertainment. I've read some these reviews, And some divorced women are getting angry because they probably feel that it's glamorizing divorce and making it look like a lot more fun than it actually is. But FYI, It is a fictional scripted show!!!! It is there to make us laugh and cry and enjoy ourselves.
1. Abby, The main character, Is a neurotic control freak, which gets incredibly annoying at times but I know people just like her. And it makes for some interesting drama. 2. Jo, Is her Puerto Rican friend that came from the Bronx and she is a little stereotypical, I will admit. But I am Puerto Rican and my family is just like her so I don't know. She's loud and rambunctious and bold. 3. Delia, Is an Indian law partner. She's afraid of commitment but she's strong and intelligent and the most stylish, And the most beautiful one, in my opinion. 4. Phoebe, She's been divorced 3 times and she's a hippie who makes her money from alimony as she looks for her passion. Out of all of them this is the only character that I don't like. Her problems stem From her desire to be surrounded by materials and wealth as She Looks for her passion. She pays no attention to her children and she constantly needs a man by her side. She is the most unlikable in my opinion.
BTW: There is a lot of comparison to Sex in the City. Carrie, was an immature spoiled, selfish, narcissist who thought she was 15 and spent $1000 on shoes when she only wrote one column a week which was obviously unbelievable. The women did not seem as materialistic or privileged on that show up because they had average sized apartments and had their breakfast at some rinky diner but come on. They drank cosmopolitans and went to fashion shows and parties thrown by celebrities. And Carrie was absolutely unsympathetic, while the main character of this show, Abby, is a little more sympathetic and relatable at times.
Some reviewers are complaining that the characters of this show are acting like teenagers because they're partying and drinking but they did the same exact thing Sex and the City and nobody said anything.
Sex and the city was about finding love and everything that happens before, Girlfriends guide is about getting over it, And everything that happens after. I hope they don't cancel the show!!
