There's plenty of discussion between the two named sisters who lead the cast, so no problem there.
My issue is with the content of their conversations; much of it revolves around either their dying father or Hank, a son of one sister. There's a heart-to-heart at one point in which the death of an old boyfriend is mentioned, too.
However, given the central plot of one sister's illness, I'm sure they do discuss that at some point without mentioning any men.
