The dialogue is clunky (though the actors try their best to make it work, with the exception of Melissa George, who just makes the whole thing grind to a halt whenever she's on screen) and the characters are badly dressed (really, is that how rich women dress?), and though it feels like it should be another Big Little Lies, it's so badly written that you find yourself wanting to re-watch that rather than suffer through this. They've crammed what should have been stretched out over a few episodes into one, with a man suddenly deciding to have an affair and then just as suddenly deciding he should make his marriage work all in the space of a day, and a bunch of women who aren't rich suddenly deciding to take under their wing a rich bitch they've hated for a supposedly long time. Why would they do this? What's their motivation? Pure pity? Wouldn't the rich bitch find their pity grating? So many things just don't work with this. It's disappointing because I was looking forward to it.
