Work in Progress

When I saw a 5.2 rating I couldn't believe it. I thought this show was so funny and was looking forward to binge watching it and found out it had only two episodes out. oh well I can wait. I laughed so hard the first two episodes and cannot wait to see another episode!

Real laughter, entertaining, different. I enjoyed it. Main character is engaging and relatable.

I gave episode #1 a 10. That's all I have to go on so far so I won't rate the entire series. But a great start! My question of 'what are we reviewing?' comes largely from the angrily negative reviews that have written off a show as it's barely begun because a) lesbians, b) hated The L Word (so what?) and c) something about left wingers (aww you care enough to keep us in fresh spittle). My gender, my politics and my sexuality are irrelevant to whether I think this show has the potential to be clever, inventive and original. I do, on each count and I'm enthusiastic about seeing more. So are you reviewing this show on its merits, or are you watching to justify the hate you already feel? 'Cause that's really pretty sad, if you are.

Loved the pilot, can't wait to see more! This show has a great bit of dark humor, heart, and realness. There isn't any show quite like it that I've seen. Seems like its going to be built for anyone who has ever felt lost in the shuffle. Good work to all involved!

It's so vapidly clear that the 1 star reviews are coming from people who can't stand the idea of a completely queer show that doesn't cater to cis straight people. How could they possibly handle not having a straight person in sight for 30 min of their day right?? Oh, it's ok if the queer people are the societal definition of "sexy." But If a show actually has realistic looking queer people in it, showing real queer experiences then blech, it shall only be deemed worth 1 star!

Well let me tell you. As a queer dyke with depression myself, I have never felt more seen or represented on screen. The low ratings on this show are a representation of the heteronormative society we STILL live in.
