It is better than I initially thought it would be. I've seen all 10 episodes so far.
Sofia and Garrett really carry the show on their backs. Sofia is particularly impressive. She fits the role like a glove and is able to portray all the character sides (and complexities) in a really nice and relatable way, humanizing what would otherwise be a simple train-wreck.
At first, most of the secondary characters really annoyed me; but then, as the show progressed, I got used to them and they stopped annoying me so much.
Still... It is easy to see there is some "diversity quotas" being filled there. For instance, it is plenty OK to see the "chubby girl" as the funny best friend, but did she really had to be cast as morbidly obese? The main lesbian couple adds a lot funny scenes to the story, but did the secondary lesbian wife had to be so vapid and annoying? Couldn't she be portrayed with a few more brain cells and a more relatable side as it would actually be in real life?
Worth checking it out, just don't expect too much and be prepared to disregard the "annoyances" as they come.
