I loved the show and all its wrinkles. I thought the writing was thought provoking and adult centered. I thought the acting was superb. The finale was just okay for me but I have to whine that I received two phone calls during the show! I saw the slap but missed the dialogue! Oh darn! I sort of like the affair with (can't remember his name). She had raised her family, had a long satisfying career, and with stood some shaming, challenging and difficult times. She deserved a little pleasure! Oh well it is just TV!
