Amanda's thoughts

Pivoting was short and sweet, but I can’t wait for the next season. At first, it seems dark, as the three women are grieving a terrible loss. But as the saying goes, laughter is the best medicine… and once the humor kicked in, I found myself laughing alongside them. I loved the sarcastic and humorous banter between the three main characters. It reminded me of the conversations I normally have with my friends, where it’s comforting to laugh about our kids' swearing or shamelessly embrace our favorite 90s drama, Beverly Hills 90210 (long live Brenda and Dylan!).

After their friend's death, each character makes some really drastic life changes. Some of these choices made sense to me, while others were surprising. I could relate to the character who was at a bit of a crossroads with her career, but was very anxious when one developed a crush on her trainer. You’ll sit there thinking “Are they really going to do that?” and hope for the best, just as you would for your own friends.
