I loved the characters and was literally just beginning to not want to put Renata in a spin dryer, or slap Bonnie till she lost her teeth, OR put a giant football sock in Maddy's mouth.

1. There has to be a series 2

2. I loved the characters and was literally just beginning to not want to put Renata in a spin dryer, or slap Bonnie till she lost her teeth, OR put a giant football sock in Maddy's mouth when the show ended! Noooooo.

3. Many things didn't ring true a lot of the time but I know this was really more to do with telling a story in such a short amount of time - but Jean-Marc Valleè, the director did a stupendous job with what he had. A bunch of entitled, rich, housewives meeting at the coffee house of a morning to rip the innards out of the town's population. Sheer heaven! And we cared!

The casting was inspired!
Tho.
The relationship between Celeste and the wife beater was so f***ed up I could not get a grip on it from any angle - the therapist was so soft spoken and unbelievably irritating that I wanted Celeste to suffocate her with one of her herringbone organic fabric soft furnishings.

Bonnie and her organic grip of everything from a soul to a coffee bean was hair-pullingly frustrating (well done Zoe Kravitz) - genius character study.

Anyway tons wrong but More Importantly WAY MORE RIGHT- but god that was cruel to just end it - there should have been 15 episodes and way more time developing characters - every scene with Celeste and the monster was violent - never a normal everyday vibe to help u understand why she stayed!

Anyway I know it was a book but can we just get some of these writers to continue creating stories around this bunch of utterly addictive characters! Wish they hadn't killed him! It was too fast too easy with creeps like that you want to see the comedown the discovery the humiliation - for him it was just over!
