a friend told me margulies was in season 2, so i felt it was my duty to watch and just started from there.
i dismissed it quickly as oftentimes jarring in terms of dialogue and performances, a bit outdated (morning television, so exciting!), overlong and altogether less than the sum of its parts but it got better as it went along and i got to know more of the characters (quite a few of them).
did not care for aniston (putting it mildly), i don't care much for witherspoon but she had some moments (i found the storyline with her brother touching), did not care for carrell (i want his villa though). those three characters were probably my least favourite things about it. it was nice to see valeria golino again but there was something off about her performance for me.
liked most of the supporting cast. karen pittman was my favourite, crudup did a good job and i did enjoy margulies who had some good lines.
all in all, would not recommend this to a friend.
