Nothing Trivial

I really enjoyed watching this series over the course of a few months, coming to enjoy the characters and care about their stories more and more over time. I'm really going to miss the characters and the story now that I've finished the entire series. I think it's especially good at portraying friendship and to some degree, families, including older parents and teenage kids.

I became interested enough in the actors to look up most of the main characters and in some cases, watch interviews with them. I'm a little sad that there don't seem to be too many other TV shows starring the main actors I can follow up with.

The whole aspect of trivia nights in pubs (we participated in one only once, when travelling through Oregon) was what drew me to the series and I did actually quite enjoy the "quiz" content in the show--it was, at times, cleverly integrated into the story and I loved how the individual episodes were named for pub quiz questions.
