The story was sufficient to keep it interesting. The women were given the filled out roles. The men were the stereotypes of men in drama these days - sleaze bags, bad or gay. Some balance would've been refreshing. Vanessa the wife played a great role - it provided some humour and irony. The HR character could've been great - but her role was fairly under-utilised and underdeveloped. Some complexity would've helped a lot as she was such a central character. The COO role was acted well but the character was very unlikeable and could've done with some light and shade rather than all dark and harsh. This series would've shone with more character development and nuance to the characters. People are so multifaceted and complex and displaying this in a production adds great interest and reality. Missed opportunity to make this series very good.
