    If I could give it less than a star I would.

    Absolutely awful, the previews were trash to begin with. I don't understand why a woman in her 40s would want to play this character to begin with. It's not funny at alll. I don't see it lasting long at all. It's cringe X1000. I hope to god no one tried this hard to fit it. It's obnoxious.

    The writers should have a conversation with a real human being

    It's brazenly apparent that the writer has never in her life, ever spoken to an adolescent boy. It's like an alien looked at what women say on Twitter about how annoying men are and wrote a show about it.

    What?

    So confused! I wanted to love it. It was weird and quirky but in all the wrong ways. Instead of laughing the punch line makes me cringe. I think it small clips this could be a great bit! Bet it was a SNL skit at one point. But this falls about 10 feet off. I give you a three because I like the attempt and it was still mild entertaining in the car crash sense,

    Beyond Cringe

    I created an account just to say how terrible this show is. Whoever created it has clearly never met an actual teenage boy in real life ever and I can't believe it wasn't cancelled immediately after airing the pilot.

    Cringy

    I saw the pilot for this show over a year ago and it was just terrible. Yes, it had a few funny moments but, I just couldn't get over the main character being a woman my age playing a teen boy. Just seemed odd. Why not cast an actual kid? It feels like an SNL skit that when on for too long. Either way I wish them success and hope they find their viewers. Good luck!!
