Daytime Divas

Daytime Divas isn’t going to make you think, and you probably won’t consider it for a single nanosecond after it’s over. But for turn-your-brain off, entertaining summer fluff, it perfectly fits the bill, like the trashiest reality show with a better, flashier script.

While Divas does get points for being somewhat progressive, it lacks nuance, and it fails to explain why the women, who are painted in overly broad strokes, dislike each other to the point of sabotage, other than simply coveting more screen time.

Daytime Divas has its funny moments as it recounts the petty behaviors of daytime chat show stars but too often in its first two episodes the show moves in all the expected directions and feels like a lesser Lifetime entry.

Daytime Divas is missing realism and perspective and it's missing tawdry soapiness. It also isn't sure if it's a comedy. It's definitely not a satire, but it could still be generally funny.
