COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Shamelessly irreverent submitted by Kimberlyrol on July 23, 2018, 8:47am This is a really engaging series, but be ready to be uncomfortable because this series covers a lot of taboo subjects.

The beginning submitted by nharmon on August 18, 2019, 10:58pm Love this series. It’s slightly frightening to acknowledge although this is fictional it does touch on the crisises of many families today.

Didn't quite translate to the US submitted by crp on August 6, 2020, 1:20am Didn't quite translate to the US but is entertaining anyways.

Fun, but not realistic submitted by blancharddana on June 21, 2022, 2:26pm Fun and hilarious show, but it gets a bit unrealistic when the main character starts going to yacht parties and stuff

Outrageous submitted by svenetianer on August 28, 2022, 11:42pm One of my favorite shows of all time. All 12 seasons are hilarious. Some of the topics are heavy and not suitable for young children (drugs, alcohol, verbal/physical abuse etc).
