I can't remember the last time I was this engaged with a show. The writing and the acting are incredible! One minute you're laughing next you're crying and each character is so compelling and wonderfully portrayed. I don't know when I wanted so badly to discuss each episode with other viewers as much as I do after every episode airs. Constantly left wanting more.
This show is filled with relatable situations and explores the connections we have with each other. It is full of hilarious moments but also heartbreak. The performances are unique skillful and nuanced.
I can't recommend this enough. We want more! We need more! Please don't stop making this show!

This show brings me so much joy. I love the characters, the stories, the singing , and the little horn music at the beginning. I really wish this would continue on. The main character and her struggles are such a pleasure to watch. And I hope maybe another network will pick this up. ....................... I'm currently rewatching while watching the new season. If there was a way to continue I hope it happens. I'm sure this show brings joy to so many others. I tell all my friends to watch it. And they have grown to love it too. It's beautiful and funny and smart. It's simple and the character development has been a joy to watch. Congrats to all the actors. Amazing job.
........ and I am hooked. It's relatable. I think for so many people, it will be. Maybe not all of it. But pieces of it.
Jeff Hiller. So good. Love the casting so far in general.
And that scene at the end has broken my heart. But in a good way.

Seriously, this show is so terrific I feel like I'm getting away with something just watching it. Even better, every episode so has been better than the last.
Creators/directors the Duplass Bros. And stars Bridget Everett and Jeff Hiller, (as Sam and Joel), are knocking it out of the park, but I would also gladly follow Sam's awesome dad around, or the one-in-a-zillion Fred Rococco.
It's feel-good, but real, with some achy heart and grit and Kansas grain thrown in. If you are alive, you will cackle.
