Tipo Isso

I was feeling just OK about ep's 1 and 2, but the third ep. Really found me getting into the character and identifying with their feelings and issues and struggles.

If you're unsure about this show after 2 episodes, I recommend sticking with it. It does get better, and it is well written and draws you in.

I wanted so badly to fall in love with this because I loved the character of Sabi and the story they were telling. I had a harder time with some of the supporting characters that just didn't feel very real. The last two episodes are really excellent, I think they might've found their groove and I hope next season builds on this.

I seriously don't understand why people are rating this show so badly it is a good show indeed, The acting is great the writing is there too, there is some drama, there is comedy and the show is indeed different, The only thing that I don't quite understand is the end because there is not really an end and I'm glad about the show is refreshing.

I had heard nothing about this show and just set my PVR to record all the new CBC shows of the summer. This was defo my favourite because it doesn't have a loud neurotic supposedly-funny girl-who-should-be-a-woman-but-can't-get-past-her-neuroses-and-ticks at the centre of it (which I mostly forgave Moonshine for (but not completely) and I certainly do not ever forgive Strays for transplanting from Kim's Convenience). Such a relief.

The central character, Sabi, is so compelling and charismatic that I watched in a glow of compassion/love. It's very odd when that happens.

I don't think this show is particularly intended to be funny, so unlike some reviewers, that wasn't a negative for me. I think it is intended to be thoughtful and poignant and gentle about tough situations and tough circumstances. I felt that and I liked it. I liked the thoughtful pace of the action.

I also love Sabi's fashion sense - they have style in everything.

I really hope they do NOT get a better comedic writer on the show. It was lovely as was.

Unpretentious & fluid, I feel the rating should be higher, as it deserves better markings than these. It is a kind of 'coming of age story' presented in well-cut dynamics of situations and emotions.
