Hi all,

Ive been trying for years to remember the name of this US TV series, but am stumped. Mumsnet may be able to help.

Clues:
It was set it LA and was a glamorous show. It was about a couple (mid 30s) who lived in a gorgeous, modern house with their 2/3 kids. The mum (main character) worked in something creative like PR. Their house was large, open plan with a pool and a nice pool house.

The couple split up and the dad moved to an apartment.

The mum’s friend came from out of town, and stayed in her pool house. She was a zany, extrovert character with red hair. I think after a while she overstayed her welcome (brought her daughter to also stay in the pool house) and then moved to the same apartment block as the dad.

I can’t remember where I watched it, maybe Netflix.

I liked it since it was glamorous, easy watching and I loved her modern house.

Any ideas?

Chatgpt says “I’m Sorry” (2017–2019), a comedy series created by and starring Andrea Savage, or Casual (Hulu, 2015–2018).
It also suggests “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce”.
Any good?

This sounds like Derry Girls I think.

It does sound a little bit familiar, I'll have a think and see if anything comes to mind

I'm just here to find out the reasoning for the Derry Girls suggestion.

Following on from Derry girls suggestion,I'm going to suggest was it The xfiles?

@Apollonia1 Could it possibly have been The Starter Wife?

Question time?

@weaselwordsyou’re a genius!! It’s Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce!

I’ve spent years trying to remember the name, and you got it in 8 mins. 😆 I knew MN could solve it.

Thanks everyone - the other suggestions look good. Will also take a look at those.

I’m also intrigued by the Derry Girls suggestion.

I'm slightly disappointed that this was found by chatgpt, its ruining trying to puzzle things out when all you have to do is cut and paste them OP 😂

We're all going to lose the ability to remember
