I watched random episodes now and then but only when I watched all seasons in a row did I realize that it is indeed a very good show.
It is about four older women living together and go through issues of love, family and friendship.Well written and beautifully performed by great actresses who all deservingly got Emmys for their performances.
What is beautiful about the show is how they manage to bring laughter while also addressing serious issues. And they did a good job doing it with going through anything one can think of. Be it Alzheimers, homosexuality, promiscuity, homelessness, dead husbands or artificial insemination. They do it with such a grace that while one feels and thinks about the topic one is also never down and enjoys the laughter.
And it is great that the cast are women over 40. One doesn't get many shows even these days who look at that group of people as normal living being who are not senile and still enjoy life and sex. I wonder if it was hated back in the days the way SATC was by some people a decade ago.
