On the Verge

Loved this show, just put it on randomly and watched the whole thing in almost 1 sitting. The writing is very funny and sharp and shows a ton of wit and humanity.

(Btw a bunch of the negative reviews here seem to be because there is some French is spoken in the show and apparently those people get confused when hearing another language. Says it all about the quality of the reviews here, but anyway...)

I don't understand the awful reviews...it's not the best but it is quirky in the European way....laugh out loud moments, tenderness and a realness of life most shows don't come close to.... I really liked it....quite original....and definitely worth watching.

Like it or not Woody Allen lives on in shows like this. I love that it's confronting and often awkward. I love that the women don't all look like cookie cutter Instagram models. The French choose character over glamour. The relationships are shockingly age appropriate, and the relationship troubles are real. Maybe exaggerated slightly, perhaps not.

It definitely has a 'Woody Alleness' to it in the best kind of way.

Come on! This series is so much fun. I could totally relate to the characters, had many laughs, and had a kick out of seeing Jennifer Hart and the Man from Atlantis. Also loved revisiting The Rapture in The Party episode. Great job, Julie! I mean, Madame Delpy. ;-D.

Maybe it's because I'm a mom in my mid 30s but I found this show incredibly relatable and hilarious. I truly do not understand the low ratings and negative reviews... Maybe people didn't stick around long enough? At first the characters are unlikable but they grow on you. I especially relate to Elizabeth Shue's character.

Anyway, give this show a shot if you like smart, funny, sometimes awkward shows that don't feature picture perfect actors.
