| Wes Anderson Vibe
It's got beautiful, quirky, flawed, interesting characters. I instantly got a Wes Anderson vibe. Pulled me right in.

I hate rating anything artistic. Taste is subjective. So don't go by my Stars. If you like things that are a little off center, give it a try.

Trivia

Gwyneth Paltrow has admitted in interviews that she no longer has a particular interest in acting and had to be convinced by her husband Brad Falchuk and her good friend Ryan Murphy, co-creators of the show along with Ian Brennan, to be on this show. She ended up agreeing as long as she could shoot her scenes in a couple of days each week, because her primary occupation is running her company Goop, and if she didn't want to say some of the dialogue, Falchuk would rewrite them to her comfort.
