“Season one was promising and a good set up but season 2was very self indulgent and became a perpetual girls night out. People this insane couldnu0026#39;t possibly exist anywhere but in LA! It becomes a gong show of dysfunctional narcissistic women living their second childhood. Adult women acting like 15 yo girls. I barely made it to the end of the second season and wonu0026#39;t watch anymore. Gag me! Life is one long party for these poorly written shallow characters. If these characters werenu0026#39;t so childish all the time it might be a show worth watching. However the situations are superficial and repetitive full of immature bad decisions. I found it painful to watch and inane much of the time. I really donu0026#39;t know how many times I have to repeat myself to get the minimum of 10 lines. People need to be warned how much of a waste of time this show became so quickly. That this show has gone 5 seasons shows how shallow and intellectually numb most viewers are.”
