I turned on my TV to watch one episode out of curiosity and couldn't turn it off until the series finished. On a weekday. Which says a lot! Great acting and writing. I just want more.
I'm seriously weirded out by some of the low scores and comments here. I hope that personal biases are not interfering in their perception of this series. It's one of the few shows that realistically & engagingly humanises some issues around gender, race, misogyny & family - that have been such hot topics and so clumsily handled by so many other shows. The lead character is so incredibly likeable & the feel of the show has so many comedic elements that it's easy not to get too weighed down or depressed by what actually transpires in an otherwise dramatic storyline. Perfect casting too! Everyone one in this show is unknown to me and everyone of them were superb & believable.
Congratulations! I look forward to Season 2!
