why is my wife watching this thing

it literally has to be the worst thing on TV bar none.

i'll take 100 straight days of hallmark christmas movies before i'll so much as glance at what is going on in this show.

the fat woman with a size 60 skirt that she wears up to the middle of her back dating the calendar-model fireman is less believable than the spaceship going to the sun to restart it.

of course anyone who has 8pack abs is drawn to a slovenly OBESE woman and whines for her to have sex constantly.

OF COURSE


i love my wife and will watch just about anything with her but between this show and 'good girls' i'm having a hard time.

Is she rich?


At least Hallmark puts attractive women as their leads.

My wife watches this too. It’s typical Netflix forced diversity insanity. 75% of the couples on this show would never have a chance of happening in real life. It’s mind boggling. Yet women continue to watch it…….

And Chris Klein from American Pie looks like he is 60 now.

She equally hates some of the things you watch.

Good Girls is kind of fun. I need to figure out where I left off on that one.

One of the best looking men I've known (he did actual modeling in college) was a dyed in the wool chubby chaser.

And by chubby, I mean he liked them gelatinous. We used to ask him if seeing Jabba the Hutt onscreen gave him a boner.

Mine is watching it as well, in her defense she also binged Mindhunter over the weekend.

I watched Titanic II last night, I will venture that it is much worse than Sweet Magnolias

I haven’t seen the show, but learned on IMDb yesterday that the lead is the Tourette’s chick from Not Another Teen Movie. Interesting juxtaposition between that and all her Hallmark roles.

My wife was a big fan of this, but it got so fricking stupid that I couldn't watch it with her without getting angry. frick everyone on that show. I kept wishing Great Value Nacho from BCS would come back and kill everyone

And Sweet Magnolias is the worst thing ever. I made it 20 minutes yesterday before I told my wife to just put Gilmore Girls on for the 500th time

I watched the preview when I signed into Netflix once. Usually I can see something and understand why it's appealing even though it's not for me.

This show looked absolutely idiotic. The acting and script both seemed like total garbage. I could understand it getting made or whatever, but being #1 on Netflix? Holy cow.

Dude my wife watches this garbage too and the fat chick hot ex thing completely takes up all my headspace when she’s on screen.

Also the red head main character got stuck with the worst actor from American Pie as her ex. I guess the Christian paramedic from Greys anatomy is perpetually typecast as the red head divorcés rebound guy.

If I’m not losing it from the fat chick who presumably has these guys trapped in her gravitational pull, and Casanova the all state lax star ex husband, it’s the shoehorned little “pour it out” catch phrase before they all drink at their get togethers that makes me wanna gouge my eyes out and flood my ears with hot glue.

The only thing I semi have to give credit to is the black chick. Her infertility story line and acting is actually pretty respectable. Just does laps on the rest of this cast.

We watch and I have to say that the first two seasons were not terrible.

The overweight character that y'all have described is overly sicken because of the way she plays the character. She severely tries to overdue the Southern accent and then lays it on thick (no pun intended) by acting as if she is sassy and sexy.

I have not watched Season 3, but my sister asked me if we had watched it yet...Said that it was unbelievable that this was supposed to be a small town in Georgia that did not have 1 but 2 interracial relationships...LOL.

Joanna Garcia is still hot.

Watching it right now. It's decent mindless entertainment, but for the love of God Chris Klein's accent is probably the worst southern accent I've ever heard. I'm only at the end of season 1 right now and yes Joanna Garcia is a smoke show.

And the good looking ex husband was working hard to get back with her. Not sure which is more unrealistic

My wife watches it. Already finished the new season. I have caught a few episodes here and there. There are a lot of ridiculous things overall, but yeah, the fatty and the handsome guy make no sense. It's not like her personality is a 10 either.

My wife watches this. It's funny to see the same things that all of the indirect husband watchers have keyed in on:

1. The overweight chick lusted after by the good-looking guy
2. Miss Red-head Garcia
3. Chris Klein's shite accent
