Laid

Zosia alone is worth watching the series. She eats up every scene she's in. Her humanity and warmth to Ruby's vapidness and self absorption plays so well. It took me a few episodes to understand how I was supposed to view Ruby and once I caught on? I was down for the ride! I liked each episode better as they went on. I'm not sure there is redemption for Ruby but would like a second series to see where these characters go. I have many questions about Issac, I have a feeling there is a lot more there not yet explored. Ritchie isn't done yet either. Fun celeb pop ups with Simu Liu and Chloe Fineman.

If you're a fan of shows like Search Party, and I definitely am, this one's for you. Great upcoming comedic ensemble cast with lots of surprising cameos too. Smart, funny writing and premise which keeps you engaged as it twists and turns. There are a lack of comedies out in streaming and especially dark satirical series like this one. Bonus this is a highly bingeable watch. No spoilers here, just a recommendation to watch it with all of this in mind. I've seen some poor reviews here and I truly think it's because they don't understand the genre. Must have a second season Peacock, it was really good.

I understand the hate that some people have for this show. It is tough in the beginning to like the characters and the best friend's obsession with the deaths of her ex's can feel like it's lacking empathy but as the show goes on I think it really grows. I like that her ex's are calling her out on being a selfish person because I think we always see ourselves as the one doing the right thing or being the good one in a relationship. I like that it makes the Ruby analyze her relationships with others in her life and her relationship with her father. I just wish it didn't end on such a cliff hanger!

I love a good romance and I love true crime, this show was a nice blend of the two in a way that was, yeah, kind of over the top, but ultimately fun. Ruby isn't really likeable and she's not meant to be but that was kind of endearing and I enjoyed the show from start to finish. She was incredibly selfish but people are and I don't think the heroine in a rom-com needs to be perfect and bubbly and all that each and every time.

I loved her best friend, AJ (back to my own true crime obsession) and her dry delivery of every single line. The dark and raunchy humor was a nice twist and I hope there's a season 2.

I laughed harder at a show than I have in years. (I went to business school...) We had to rewind so many times to hear dialogue we'd missed because we were laughing too hard. Or crying. We did some of that too.

The first one or two episodes moved pretty slowly as the writers took their time in demonstrating the self-involvement of the lead character. But the show picks up quickly and is worth every minute. Every episode brought more laughs than we've had from most comedies. The story arc is almost entirely character-driven, but there is real revelation and development rather than the rinse and repeat cycle of most TV dramas.

We can't wait for a second season.
