Demasiado

So many wasted talents in this yawn of a comedy. Will Sharp is the reason for two of the three stars, hopefully this will lead to bigger and better things.

The ensemble characters are a bunch of stereotypes, choosen to complete a checklist of visibility.

The biggest problem is the total unlikeability of the main character. You really stop caring about her crash life in London very quickly. The "funny" social situations are so contrived they become just silly. The written tries too hard to cover issues, emotions etc.

A special mention for Jennifer Saunders playing an unfunny version of Abfab Eddie

It tries to too hard and fails dramatically, if you want to see a well written female lead comedy watch Fleabag (or even Miranda)

I didn't research any of the actors/producers/writers/creators before watching. Not too long into the first episode, I immediately clocked Lena Dunham's touch. If you've seen Dunham's "Girls" (HBO) you will get immediate Hannah energy from the main character. From what I've seen so far, a lot of the situations Jessica herself into are very similar to Hannah from Girls. BUT, it does not have quite the same wit and bite as the dialogue in Girls. Girls felt messier without TRYING to be. Jessica is just a tinge over the top to where it's borderline unbelievable that anyone is friends with her or wants to be with her. Lena's previous characters, like Hannah Horvath, were more fleshed out. They are trying TOO HARD to make Jessica a "mess".

Overall, a good storyline and premise but there are so many unfortunate issues with everything.

1. The way the lead female has been written as an insufferable, overly dramatic, whiny "quirky" girl is frustrating to say the least. It unfortunately leans into so many damaging stereotypes of women.

2. Costumes for lead female - what were they thinking?? Not justice for her at all.

3. Generally not the lived experience of "chubby" girls. I hate that it insinuates this is the lived experience of a confident woman who feels sexy and pulls men instantly. This is NOT the experience for 99% of larger women, and it's ridiculous to suggest so. I am so glad there is space for stories like this, where larger women get the man & enjoy sex and are confident in themselves. But I think this is overdone and almost offensive.

4. The script. Just frustrating and annoying. Tries too hard to be whimsical, quirky and candid but again, comes across as trying to hard and it's so obvious.

Nope, just not it. Could not get in to the main character. I find her too be very egoistic, way too dramatic and very self-centred.

As a European it is way too much American exaggerated drama about feelings and making it all about you.

First episode started out strong but just didn't get picked up after. The obsessive part with the ex wavering on way too long during the season. With in the end kind of soft boring ending.

Did like a lot of the acting and the different characters, but the script can use a little less of the almost hateful main character.

Definitely way "too much". Would I recommend, no. Would I watch again, no. Would I wish for my time back, YES!

I was waiting for this, hoping it would be as fresh as Girls used to be, but instead, it's surprisingly boring, dreadfully boring.

Surprisingly unfunny or trying too hard to be funny.

Those office characters-we've see them in every Netflix show that has an office.

There's nothing fresh about the show.

The Girls had such brilliant dialogue that if you missed any part of it, you were losing something; here, the conversations mean nothing to the viewer-they're empty, just private babble that makes you feel like you're wasting your time watching it.

Oh, and the main character feels like an extension of her character from Hacks - is that intentional?
