This show has a great rating already, but it still could be superior. The problem is: a lot of folks have problems when shows portrait women with no goal to please men, who have their own dynamic and purpose and motivations. Or gay people who are actually good characters and have their own agency, and older women who still feel sexy and bright and are not afraid to show it.
It is really bad when we live in a world where lot of people still have an issue on understanding that women are people exactly like men. Its true both of the main characters are not exactly good people. Or excellent people. And so what? People make mistakes they do stupid stuff, make stupid choices and they have to live with it. Doesnt matter which generation they are. I do think the show is a lot about this.
I didnt consider the stand up bits to be very funny but i basically never laugh at stand up anyway so i am not the best judge. But the character dynamic is great, some of the dialoges are very bright and clever, and the show can make you laugh and then cry in like 2 minutes. Jean smart is an amazing actress who i almost didnt know until like 1 or 2 years ago. I am so happy someone so talented as her was able to finally get a this spotlight.
The assistant is neurotic and sellfish a lot of times, but there is also a lot of stuff attractive about her in my opinion. She is funny, spontaneous and she is strong enough to stand up to herself and be a counterpart to this deborah vance characters.
It is not my favourite show, but it has a very good first season. Its too bad a lot of people just see shows where women have their own will and are not just an "award" for good behaving men, and label them as "women shows". Honestly if I was 16 probably i would be like "im not watching this" out of fear of being called gay for watching a "women show". But it is not 2002 anymore, no need for anyone to still behave like that.
Funny, witty and emotive. Pretty good stuff in my book.
