This drama is done well enough. But The Guardian said: "That makes it sound weighty. It is not. It is funny, friendly and as beautifully light on its feet as you might expect from its creator, David West Read, who worked as a writer and producer on Schitt's Creek. He is hugely helped in this by the presence and immaculate comic timing of Chris O'Dowd..."
Covering for awkward inner states (recurringly) with made-over smiles isn't funny to anyone but a cynical car salesman.
I am interested in how the characters' arcs will play out, but regret that the structure continually flits from person to person, without intimate depth (yet.. after 5 eps), so it's harder to care about any single one of them. I guess that'd count as "light". But it's unsatisfying.
(Tip: Apple have cleverly programmed this at one episode released per week, so until the series finishes, you can't get the binge done in the 7 days' free trial.)
