Laid

Zosia alone is worth watching the series. She eats up every scene she's in. Her humanity and warmth to Ruby's vapidness and self absorption plays so well. It took me a few episodes to understand how I was supposed to view Ruby and once I caught on? I was down for the ride! I liked each episode better as they went on. I'm not sure there is redemption for Ruby but would like a second series to see where these characters go. I have many questions about Issac, I have a feeling there is a lot more there not yet explored. Ritchie isn't done yet either. Fun celeb pop ups with Simu Liu and Chloe Fineman.

I understand the hate that some people have for this show. It is tough in the beginning to like the characters and the best friend's obsession with the deaths of her ex's can feel like it's lacking empathy but as the show goes on I think it really grows. I like that her ex's are calling her out on being a selfish person because I think we always see ourselves as the one doing the right thing or being the good one in a relationship. I like that it makes the Ruby analyze her relationships with others in her life and her relationship with her father. I just wish it didn't end on such a cliff hanger!

I love a good romance and I love true crime, this show was a nice blend of the two in a way that was, yeah, kind of over the top, but ultimately fun. Ruby isn't really likeable and she's not meant to be but that was kind of endearing and I enjoyed the show from start to finish. She was incredibly selfish but people are and I don't think the heroine in a rom-com needs to be perfect and bubbly and all that each and every time.

I loved her best friend, AJ (back to my own true crime obsession) and her dry delivery of every single line. The dark and raunchy humor was a nice twist and I hope there's a season 2.

Binged worthy entertaining series. The show's humour had me laughing in stitches at times, thanks to good choice of casting who can delivered strong believable performances for unbelievable plot.

The pacing was generally well-balanced, keeping me engaged throughout. I appreciated that the storyline wasn't predictable, keeping me on my toes.

The tone remained consistent throughout the series, which helped maintain the show's momentum. The soundtracks was absolute highlight, perfectly complementing the episodes.

My only criticism lies with the season finale. The approaching climax ending didn't quite match the pace of the preceding episodes and felt it was rewritten to allow for possible renewal.

Overall, I'd highly recommend Laid for its entertaining story, memorable characters, and tracks.

The first episode was hard to watch, but you need it because it lays out how horrible Ruby is. It's necessary. It gets so much better and more ridiculous as the season goes on, especially the gravitas Stephanie and Zosia give the most inane situations and conversations. Give it time and get to know the characters. Everyone has a weird and shiny moment, and there's a big laugh almost every episode. There are a couple of surprise guests along the way, adding to the zaniness, although with one of them, I got a little uncomfortable with how she sent up some of her famous history for a laugh, but with the other, who to me will always be the doctor from Lost, I had no complaints. He needs to be a mysterious figure on every show, in my opinion.
