Have you seen Cheating?

Do you think it's as good as everyone says? Better than Succession, White Lotus, Dallas, the Old Testament, Tolstoy?

What do you make of the younger girlfriend? Is she really supposed to be as horrible as she seems? Do you think you're supposed to hate the wife? And are you supposed to like the husband? Because I can't stand him.

Actually, is there a single person in it you don't hate - or is sort of the point? Are the boomers worse than the millennials, or is it the other way round? Who's more oblivious, more spoilt? What's she going to do when she finds out? She won't find out, will she-

Imagine the most intimate parts of your marriage stolen and turned into the subject of the year's hottest TV sensation. How would you take it? Turn the other cheek? Or play the revenge game? Surely, you wouldn't go as far as this.
