How are we not all talking about how awesome this show is? Do yourself a favour and watch this show.

I loved the different view points from the characters. Pretty much everything about it: how it was filmed, casted, shot. Richard Harmon, Jennifer Tong, and Emilija Baranac were meant for these roles.

The musical score really fit the series. It is easily the most bingeable show on Netflix (or cbc gem in Canada) right now. Really hoping season 2 comes out soon. As a debut show from David Turko, I'm really setting my sight on all his future series as I've been really impressed with this one.

Just do it. Watch it now. You'll love it.

This show never really got of the ground for me. What made it interesting is definitly the way the story is told from two different perspective. Nice touch on the unreliable narrator concept. But other than that there is not much to talk about. I honestly had to look the show up to write this review because I had forgotten most of it - even though I watched it just two week ago. That is not a good sign. There should be something that would make me excited for a second season. However I do not regret watching it - it did pass the time. Richard Harmon was the highlight of the show for me. If there was another season I would tune in but with no excitment or great anticipation to be honest.

This series is amazing! In less than 4 hours the show managed to weave an intriguing and compelling plot, to present the three mains giving them emotional depth and telling their family issues, providing the sincere point of view of each in a complex story where the truth is never absolute, as in life. This show manage to amuse and move. The energy of the actors shines through in every scene; the beginning is a bit chaotic but when the characters finally take the place of the clichés, telling us about their humanity, it is impossible not to be captured by them. They really put great care in costumes and hairstyles, Becca is absolutely glamorous. The music is also super. The finale screams for season 2!

Not a single line of wasted dialogue. It all either makes you laugh, manhandles your feels, or leaves you staring at the screen with a surprised Pikachu face. I was completely thrown by the ramping up in episode five from frothy, witty YA crime caper to Breaking Bad. Tryst is Jesse Pinkman meets the Artful Dodger? Or do I sound like Sally making bad theater references here? (You will either love Sally or break out into hives, and whatever ends up happening, you're SUPPOSED to feel that way.) I love lusty Sophie and Clem the not nice guy. These are fleshed out side characters with their own motivations and lives off screen, hopefully positioned to spring into action with more screen time in season 2. Also, shout out to the costume department? The clothing was ridiculous and wonderful. The consensus is everyone is surprised at how good this is, so spread the word and lets make sure there's a second season.

Was pleasantly surprised to come across this on Netflix. The show has solid pacing and dialog, which keeps the story moving forward without ever feeling rushed or dull. I was able to watch the entire season in just a couple sittings. All the actors were really well cast, though the character of Tryst seemed to be the most engaging for me. Even though the show is labeled as a comedy, I feel it goes a bit above just the laughs by really exploring all the characters interpersonal relationships. The serious moments give us a reason to care and a reason to root for people. Really hoping for a second season.
