Any of you check this out on HBO?

I just turned on the first episode.

so episode 1 was alright. She had the baby. Her fiance is a nerd, but seems like a decent guy. They make an interesting couple.

I don't know if Serena has the personality or speaking presence for a show like this, but it should give some insight to her life and coming back to tennis after the baby.

Thanks for posting.

I don't have HBO right now, but usually I get it for a week or so at this time of the year.

If you keep watching, please keep posting your thoughts.

I watched the first episode.

It was pretty good.

I liked how her husband said that in high school, he spent his time playing video games at LAN parties.

I also like how they put the 2017 Australian Open trophy in the baby's room.

Serena also asked if a C-section would be better, because "it seemed easier". The doctors had to explain how it was more dangerous.

also, the recovery from a C-section would be a lot longer.

I finished the series. As a 5 episode series, it was about right. Not too short or long.

It was funny how Venus said she wanted a rematch, because she was playing 2 vs. 1.

There were also a lot of intense moments between Serena and Mouratagolou. He kept pushing her to get fitter.

He said she needed to leave home and train in Europe, to concentrate more.

He was on her to stop breastfeeding, since last December, so she could achieve better weight and fitness.

He would inquire with her hitting partner, Jarmere Jenkins, when Serena wasn't around, to get Jenkins' assessment of her fitness.

Serena was taking it personally, and took it as if Mouratagolou was suggesting that she wasn't giving it her all, or not trying hard enough. She clashed with him.

It also seemed like Richard Williams had some health problems, that prevented him from showing up to the wedding.

What were the majors where Richard Williams had signs on a whiteboard?

Such as "I told you so" after one of the major wins.

I think there was at least one more?
