It’s everything and nothing all at once. It pivots from a Mindhunters scene to a Desperate Housewives scene to a 50 Shades scene to a Girl on the Train scene within a few minutes. The problem is that the connective tissue — the dialogue, the casting, the music, and especially (and oddly) the lighting — all feel like an afterthought.
It very much qualifies as satire but there’s nothing funny, suspicious, curious, sexy, or interesting about anything that happens. It’s all just kind of there. Or at least that’s what I gathered after the first two episodes.

We had the same response to Woman... as Trag. It's a mess of a show, the tone is all over the place--formally it's a satire but it's like, to what end? I don't think the show even knows, and so you have these over-the-top scenes played totally straight. Kristen Bell tends to take interesting projects but this one's a bore.

Like if you want to point at the screen and say "women do be spilling their wine!" for eight half-hour episodes, then this is the show for you, but otherwise it's more pastiche than satire.
