This show was a beautiful insight into the societal pressures and the existential dread of what it means to be a modern woman living in Tokyo. It's essentially 'Sex and the City' and 'Emily in Paris' if those shows were more self aware and had the gall to critique the nuances and tolls of placing so much value on symbols of wealth and success. The great thing about it is that it never judges its women for being part of the game but rather lets them literally speak for themselves.
that 6 star review completely misses the point of the show and compares it to old acclaimed japanese cinema as if the entire culture was some sort of never-changing monolith. He's basically just another old white man yelling that a show doesn't fit his view of how japanese women ought to be.
