What Reelgood users are saying

The show was highly enjoyable, though the last two seasons felt rushed. The new neighbor was disliked for her unpleasant character. A favorite character's death was disappointing. Despite these issues, the show remained addictive. It's praised as a great cheesy drama.

Really enjoyed this show. The last two seasons were a blur. Didn’t care for the newer neighbor. She was a total cow and was proud of it. Also the killed off my favorite character!But I still couldn’t stop watching.
