Can we talk about how crazy they have Liza looking on this show? Her outfits look like a toddler picked them out, not to mention the braids on her head and bright lipstick. Maybe it’s just because this was over 10 years ago but no one else on the show seems to have that look, Kelsey’s style is pretty classy overall.

Quinn!!

After Thad’s death, why does every man served to Kelsey as a love interest directly after look exactly like him? Is that intentional? Or do the writers just have a very narrow view of what’s attractive?

ETA: not referring so Zane. But the other few she meets in quick succession in S3 following Thad

Everyone: Why does Liza make such awful decisions?

Maggie: Pretend you’re 26 to get the job.
Maggie: Don’t tell Josh.
Maggie: Don’t tell Caitlin.
Maggie: Don’t tell Kelsey.
Maggie: Just keep it going a little longer…

Almost every time Liza wanted to come clean, Maggie strongly discouraged it. She didn’t have to listen to her, but still, bad advice from bestie 😂

(Don’t get me wrong, I ADORE Maggie. She’s probably my favorite character. I just realized on my rewatch that like 80% of Liza’s worst decisions started with Maggie saying, “Don’t tell them.”)

So I’m rewatching, and honestly? Liza is so flaky,Maybe even a little selfish.
Like, after she and Charles kiss for the second time in one night, she doesn't feel a single shred of regret. Instead, she totally expects him to give her all this attention. But when he actually apologizes for stepping between her and Josh? She’s just completely thrown off and left hanging.
That’s when she confessed on the show and went to Josh.
Here Josh’s feelings are justified, does anyone think the same?

My fav characters are Maggie and Diana🥰

First time I watched this was by chance, I was on mat leave and it was such easy watching, I absolutely loveeeeed it!

Am watching for the second time, only at the end of season 3, and genuinely I love Maggie and Diana so much. It wasn’t that I didn’t love them before but I was more invested in the plot line I don’t think I could appreciate their characters as such. Maggie is such a bad ass. I also love Josh’s character development.

I also think Charles is such a boring wet blanket.

😆😆😆

I js started the pilot for this show & theres sm casual racism against Indians-tfym “war zone” 💀 Why is this normalised?

I notice every time I watch how much they redesign the set occasionally. I know the actual series set is going to be different than the pilot set, but why did they redo Charles office multiple times, specifically between season 4 and 5. There's only a day in between but no mention of it and its an entirely new layout, decor, and color. It always trips me up

I finished season 7 in one day mostly just to get it over with. Ummmmmmm how did we feel? Here are some thoughts and some fantasy endings I have (mostly just to vent).

This was my first watch and I’m kinda mid on it all. I hate how they wrote off Diana, someone who loooved her job and never took a day off. It would have been cool for her to come back as a silent investor in Kelsey’s company. I do like that her and Enzo got together in the end, it did seem like a good match for her.

Kelsey cooonstantly thinks with her vagina and it diminishes a lot of what women work so hard to go against. Same with Liza tbh. And the show (and viewers) give them so much flack when Charles and Zane and Bjorn (lol callback) and probably more men did the exact same thing of shitting where they eat. And yet we focus sooo much on them two. In the end, Zane makes publisher when his career was pretty bleak, Charles gets his company back as publisher and that doesn’t sit right with me either. I think the writers did Charles’ kids dirty. They’ve been through so much with their mom disappearing, reappearing, Liza, Quinn, that perfect philanthropist woman in between. Idk, if you’re dating around so much, maybe don’t involve the kids.

Maggie was supposed to be the sexually free, eff society and she ends up with someone who needed the justification of “love and hate are different sides of the same coin”??? Maggie would never. I would’ve preferred her and Lauren ffs.

Liza should have left Empirical. Her daughter is old enough and clearly the publishing world in NY still has thoughts about her coverup as seen in the musical number. I would have loved to see a little woman-power thing with her, Kelsey and Clare in LA. A software developer, a publisher and an editor making their own talent acquisition and publishing house.

Josh is doing great, but man are him and Liza not a good match. I think he has a big focus on sex with Liza in that relationship and they didn’t really get along other than that. I think him and another artist would have had more chemistry. So fanfic version, he meets an art prof at the place Maggie was working and they hit it off.

Overall, I think this show tried to make a thing out of “age isn’t everything” and “womanhood”. But all I see are women making terrible career decisions based on hormones (annoying stereotype) and an overall message that your age is the reason that things don’t work out. Pretty bleak, women constantly lie to each other and make others feel bad and honestly, it was a tough watch to see not much character development over 7 seasons.
