i'll still give the next episode a chance, that's just my honest assessment
kinda, but perhaps 2+2'ers are not meant to be the sole viewers of this. A lot of it would go over an outsiders head though.
The characters are definately 2+2'ers and perhaps that's why there is so much reference.
Housewives in New York probably cringe when watching Housewives of New York etc. Maybe try and view a bit from the outside looking in. Happy they are coming to Australia!
