It's a funny well-made comedy tv show with a big heart and multidimensional characters. As a viewer you go in expecting -- perhaps hoping for, question mark -- stereotypes and tropes. And the show gives you those, for the first two episodes maybe. And it begins dismantling them, bit by bit, and shows how the people who we found awful were just 'real' people who acted a certain way because of the circumstances. The actor who plays Stevie -- saw her in The Trotsky first -- what a class act, though she plays the same character as she did there, I'm in love. Ooof.
This may be an exaggeration in hindsight later and so be it, but this I'll say -- this is the culmination of the 'mockumentary-style' uncomfortable comedy shows without laugh tracks. They play on the ridiculousness of the situations. Versus one canned joke after other. And the actors look like they're having a lot of fun. Highly recommend.
