    Really good!

    This show was fantastic! The entire cast was great and the three main characters have great chemistry together and are really funny! I hope they make another season because I will definitely watch.

    A fun ride with Dave Franco and a great cast

    I didn't know what to expect going in but I have to say that I was most pleasantly surprised. The series is well written, directed and has an outstanding cast.

    Dave Franco was brilliant. Jimmy Tatro and Bill Murray knocked it out of the park. Rob Yang, what can I say, I was in awe watching him do his thing. It was a really top notch performance and my favorite of the bunch. Also great to see Alyssa Milano playing a warm character on screen and not selling a bunch of fashion nonsense.

    As mentioned, the writing, direction and production were top notch. The subject matter is real and was handled nicely. A show that makes you think just a little is not a bad thing. Couple that with some crazy and unexpected twists and turns and this was such an easy series to binge. It's not perfect by any means with some of the turns being a bit juvenile but it makes up for it many times over.

    Loved it, hope there's a S2!

    I was actually looking for something to watch when I came upon this by accident in the ad on my Roku home screen, watched it all straight through. I honestly can't wait for more!

    Should have been renewed

    I liked Quibi a lot and they had some really great content and I was excited that Roku bought their content but with that being said, I'm pissed that they haven't renewed any of it. Of all the stuff I watched, this was easily the best and had so much potential for another season with Dummy being a close second. I love the dark comedy and it's well written as well as acted. Sad they canceled.

    This whole bs of so many characters is getting old really fast since the best reviews are usually short and sweet; we don't need wannabe critics and/or wannabe jacket writers writing a synopsis of the content or going on forever and a day to meet the required characters.

    Thank You, Now Change

    I came upon this show while I was at my lowest. Didn't know what to expect at first, but having to watch this show and all of its meanings. It made me feel like I wasn't alone. That life is unpredictable and that if I focus on what happened in the past, I won't be able to focus on The Now. I want to say thank you for making me feel this when my back was against the wall. It also opened my eyes to how much people over think thoughts we ourselves create. Whether it's PTSD or anxiety, it's okay to look and ask for help. So I wanna say Thank You for seeing me in you.

    P. S. Please have a season 2. Ed still has to find himself.
