To be honest I was not expecting to like this show. I think Leanne is a great comic and the cast and crew involved are solid, but the trailers made it seem like just another run of the mill, overdone sitcom; with predictable plotlines and even more predictable character arcs. However- the first five minutes alone had these ideas completely flipped on their heads. These stereotypes more so serving as a familiarity, a comfort to get you on your feet. You know how it's going to play out, sure, but the way the show conveys the story is fresh and addictive. While I think some episodes could have been cut down (though it is nice to see a 16 episode straight to streaming show!), Leanne is a series I can see myself coming back to when I just need something to laugh about. It may not be the most profound show ever, but its charm and wit are definitely worth the watch.
If you weren't already familiar with Leanne's work as a comic, this series will make you want to be.
