Big Disappointment
6 October 2005
This show was advertised as "from the creators of Sex and the city and friends" so I was hopeful. It did not deliver. The show is about 4 sisters living in NYC. They're all different in their own way. It is about their lives and this dumb thing called "the phone chain" where they all get in touch with each other via "phone" (insert laugh track). The show is infused with the most irritating background music throughout which I suppose is to instill certain feelings you should have in each scene because the dialogue/plot alone is not enough.

The show is sort of a soap opera I guess. All the sisters have their own little dramas, but coming from a family of 3 girls I see their relationships as artificial, and that goes for the dialogue as well. I didn't find this show to be happy, sad, funny, dramatic or anything. I just thought it was disappointing. Not to spoil anything, but of course at the end of the show (which I imaging will be the same trite ending to all episodes) there was a big gushy hallmark moment.

Definitely not "friends" or "sex and the city". Not even close.
