Binged with the gf. Bland but not that bad.

I respectfully disagree, it was bland and bad.

It was as if someone watched "The Devil Wears Prada" and decided that was too dark and gritty

And without Meryl Streep or any character development.

Also binged with the gf.

We found it enjoyable in a way similar to that of Girls: the protaganist is loathsome due to their narcissistic portrayal, and incredibly naive. This makes it enjoyable as you find yourself rooting against them and laughing at their failures.

We also found it annoying in a way similar to the recent Oceans movie. Rather than the protaganist defeating the antagonist, the protagonist wins them over with their revealed inner and outer beauty, and all-tagonists become cute, unlikely friends.

I swear I read that as you and your girlfriend looked it up on a Microsoft search engine ...

I didn't enjoy the overlay of phone screens but I thought the show was lighthearted and generally enjoyable.
