I Picked Up a Star on the Road

This show is nothing like I expected - it's shot beautifully with wonderful cinematography that gives it a high-budget feel, but the plot itself is an over the top, quirky indie type of story. The premise is so silly, but it really works because the casting is fantastic, the whole main trio of actors have incredible chemistry and are so engaging on screen together that you can't help but binge watch the show. There are top-notch cringe scenes that are usually rounded out with true humor so it never leaves a sour taste. And the writing is great, each plot line getting just the right amount of time and attention, and finishing off with a tightly written ending that leaves the viewer satisfied.

Is there definite Stockholm syndrome in this show? Absolutely, but it really works because of the writing and the cast. I enjoyed this show immensely, and while it probably should only get a 6 or 7 rating, I am giving it an 8 because it was so unexpectedly fun to watch.
