My Thoughts
I saw the thumbnail for this TV show on an online video streaming website.
It caught my attention.
I read the description of this TV show.
That seemed interesting, so I decided to watch an episode.
I was tired, and I had a variety of things I was trying to do.
Despite that, I ended up watching three episodes, which is half of the season.
The next day, I finished the rest of the season, which was also three episodes.
This show is not laugh out loud funny.
The comedy is a bit dark, dry, and somehow positive.
It is more likely to make you smile instead of laugh.
Somehow, that still worked for me, even though I was not really laughing.
This show was a short and very easy, positive watch.
In fact, it was too short.
There were only six episodes, and I wanted to see more.
I actually saw a bit of myself in most of the main characters of this show.
They were like more comedic and exaggerated parts of my own personality.
It was interesting seeing parts of myself in so many characters.
I can not remember any other show or movie with so many characters.
Each character reminded me of parts of myself.
I noticed this before having the time to really think about it or talk about the show with anyone.
One character was like an even more annoying & talkative version of how I can be sometimes.
Another character was like an even more positive wanting to help people version of how I can be sometimes.
Another character was really interested in another character but could not reveal that they liked them.
They were in love with them and had no luck in that area, which I know all too well.
Another character could be friendly & helpful, but was very stagnant and stuck where they were in life.
I also know all too well how that feels.
Another character had something from the past that still greatly impacts them many years later.
It causes social issues for them, which I know how that feels.
Two other characters were overly friendly, soft, goofy, and non-threatening like I can seem or be sometimes.
Another character had issues with not living up to the expectations and standards that they had of themselves.
This was in comparison to their sibling, which I can relate to as the oldest of my siblings.
This show was definitely a surprise, and I hope that it will get a season 2.
I recommend watching it.
It is especially worthwhile because it is so short, with only six twenty-something minute episodes.
It’s a very easy watch.
This was the easiest watch of the year for me so far.
I would give it a 4 out of 5.
If it had actually made me laugh, I possibly would have given it a 5 out of 5.
