Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Too bad it didn't get more time to develop. One of those shows I so wish more people, esp women, knew about. Original and savvy and dark and hilarious. What more do you want?

Very creative script!!! I was hesitant to watch this show for the longest time, but am so glad I did. Jackie Woodman was the women I knew from the 70's back in Chicago when Chicago was in its inception of theatre brilliance but these creative albeit caustic women never emerged from its nadir. It is so very heartening that their spirit has survived in Jackie Woodman. Why the entire world has not embraced Laura Kightlinger, I haven't a clue. What a brilliant woman. And how very delightful is Nicholle Tom in this show!!! She has accomplished what few child television stars have been able to accomplish and that of becoming an accomplished mature actor. This show is very very refreshing. Watch a few episodes and you'll be enchanted as well.

Laura Kightlinger is a dream come true. Smart sharp witted talent that cuts through all the baloney of making it in Hollywood. There is one line I tell people about (this is the spoiler - but it's only one line): An utterly superficial red-head sleeps her way to the top of the pile. She writes a "How-to-" book of little if no worth. At a class reunion Laura's character "Jackie Woodman" and her best friend from film college run into this feline succubus who exchange claw marks. Later a bunch of of them are talking and as it turns out one of them has made some real success - he collects projects for his studio.Naturally the red-haired thing goes all wet and starts purring all over him - fat, doofy, unattractive Berringer. So out comes Laura's (Jackie's) six-shooter and says: "Oh comon', when we were in college you wouldn't have noticed Berringer if he popped out of your birth canal!" (for which I am still laughing)See it - you will NOT be disappointed. 10+/10-LD_________________________________________________my faith: http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/jbc33/

This is a very smart comedy made by - and for - Hollywood insiders. It has a bit of Entourage mixed with The Player about it. It's funny, but I don't know if it translates to a very wide audience. The main character, Jackie, is a screenwriter whose life is basically a huge disappointment to her, both in her career and her love life. The scripts, many written by Laura Kightlinger who also plays Jackie, have that edgy bitterness which is very true to the "biz", that some people may find funny (I do) and others just depressing. Jackie may also come across as an awful narcissist, but then Hollywood only works because of all the narcissists operating in concert to try and make movies and occasionally succeeding. Certain aspects of the show are just dead on. Jackie is in a constant struggle to define herself both professionally and spiritually (though she would never cop to that in a million years). Kightlinger is terrific. She has a Geena Davis thing going on which she spins her own way. I recommend this to all angry, desperate, bitter, lonely people. For us it's great. If you feel suicidal once or twice a week, try it and see if you like it.
