S1 = 8, S2 = 7, S3 = a 4 or 5. It's a shame it was great and unique when it was at its best.

Completely fell to pieces in the most uninteresting way.

Season two felt a bit all over and not as tight of a story telling experience.

Season three is just completely unfocused, rushed and either unsatisfying or underwhelming character/story conclusions.

It feels like they possibly got cancelled behind the scenes and they gave them enough notice to work it into most of season 3. Even with that in mind, it's such a disjointed unsatisfying experience.

The horrible final dialogue not only sounded laughable (in the show, and for us the audience). Even if it some how hadn't been laughable, it was unearned and more importantly not show as plausible character growth.

That wasn't the journey we were along for the ride with.

This was one of my favorite shows EVER. I was hooked from the first episode. After an excellent first season I thought the second season dipped in quality and believability but I was still excited for season 3 to come out. I am incredibly disappointed in this season. It has become almost a caricature of itself. The dialogue is kind of ridiculous, and some parts just make you roll your eyes. They seem to have totally abandoned logic behind. The characters' reactions don't make any sense, nothing seems fitting for the time period it's supposed to be in. I cannot believe they would ruin an amazing show like this.

The show is good. It took way too long to get here.(by 7 it hooked me) Have they been greenlit for 5 seasons? Can't there be world building while keeping the viewer engaged. Good supporting cast. Rose Byrne is amazing as usual.

Please bring back Dela Saba and kick Zoey Deschanel to the curb. Bunny was such an interesting and fresh character and whatever season 3 is it's just flat without Bunny. First of all what did Zoey do to her face?! It's such a downgrade and quite frankly vey cringe to look at her let alone see her attempt to act quirky. She is seriously failing and the episodes need to use less and less of her if they are to remain even remotely entertaining. Sheila is getting a bit tired too. Greta is losing her spicy disposition. Why is this show becoming a drip fest? Bring back the silly and the angst of Bunny and start from there.

This was shut down by yours truly in the first 20 minutes. An 80s period series which uses language and above slang expressions from our present era is a prime example of the cardinal sins of screen writing. When bombarded by cliche after cliche and slang mistakes already in the first episode there's really not much else to say. It can only get worse from here. I implore you not to waste your precious time on this. We only have one life to give and there are just too many awful scripts out there. It's all about the script folks. All about the script.

One thing I cannot stand is when current movies & shows that take place decades ago have today's lingo! They've done well with the clothes and hair. The acting is good too. I also have to comment on the Mormon story. For the record, that is NOT accurately portrayed at all. Really annoying & really weird. I watched the whole season so it had enough to keep watching.

I wanted to like this so baddd after watching Glow on Netflix and being a huge fan! I love big hair, tights and fun tv shows with a good vibe...

I just found myself reaching for my phone more than watching the actual show.

It has some funny parts and also some bore parts.

I don't know if I'm a fan of the talking to self narratives throughout the show either.

Decent casting though.

I'm on the fence still.... I don't hate it, but I don't know if I like it either.

This is a well written, well directed, well-acted show. But, oh so very dark and ugly in its themes. It really is rather bleak. The writers forgot to include any likeable characters. You will want to take a shower after spending two seasons with these depressing and rather horrible people. I really don't see why this had to be so depressing. They did not need to mke a sitcom. But nor did it need to a trip into the dark underbelly of the human soul. A little comic relief would have got a long way. As it is, you are left with no one to root for. That does not make for good story telling. The best character in the show currently is Vinnie Green. But even there, the writers have him mixed up in a horrible mess of a personal life.

Well done with the storyline and the accuracy of the era (except for some expressions used in language that were not from that time).

BUT...starts out with a great idea...started to dwindle getting toward the end of the season...THEN it ended and honestly I did not know it had. It did not appear and I waited and waited for the next episode. Finally, I googled to see how many episodes in the season and was absolutely shocked to find out I had seen them all. Wow, what a letdown.

How did the writer, and anyone else, not realize the last episode was so lacking in substance. So many series nowadays start with a bang and go nowhere. They just seem slapped together without a care.

Started off well, but the last half of season 1 was long-winded and repetitive. It took a long time to get anywhere. I liked it enough to keep watching, but I kept tapping the remote every episode to see if it was almost finished.

So far the clothes, hair, music, scenery is on spot. I remember the 80's well, I was a teenager then. Rose Byrne and the other actress that plays the aerobic lead-teacher is really great. But that is it. I'm sticking around for the interesting plot. The constant self deprecation is incredibly annoying. As a woman I've never understood other women who talk about themselves like this or see themselves as fat or ugly when they truly are not.

Feels like a less good rip off of "On Becoming a God in Central Florida" with Kirsten Dunst which is amazing and she is amazing in. This show on the other hand makes it hard to like Rose Byrne's character, which makes it hard to really invest in the show overall. I didn't hate it though and finished the season- my fave character is the surfer bro Tyler. It's definitely watchable, but just lacks something.

White woman 1st world problems Show is okay, premise is boring and done so many times.

Nothing new here, keep walking or dancing (you know dirty dancing).
