I generally do not like sit-coms these days as too many rely on formulaic structure, lazy writing and/or crude humor (I'm looking at you, Two Broke Girls), but I find Me, Myself and I promising.

I don't recall ever seeing a show with this concept, simultaneously depicting a character's life in three different time periods; the premise itself caught my attention enough to give it a go.

Kudos to the casting department who assembled a great group. While others have criticized the height discrepancy between the two adult Alexes, I think it's brilliant.

I look forward to seeing what's in store.

P.S. A special note to the network-type people: stop killing shows before they can get their foot hold. Remember ... Cheers was 74th out of 77 shows its first season and went on to be one of the most popular series of ALL TIME.

My teenager and I tried to watch this. We kept waiting for it to turn into the amazing show everyone was talking about but mid-way through episode 4 we gave up.

The dialogue was inauthentic and weird; the acting was sub-par; and the directing was off. For example, one of the characters slaps a piece of paper down on the table in front of another character and then a beat later dramatically stands up and... just stands there. It was laughably bad.

We read the synopses of the other episodes and the entire thing was completely contrived. If the point was some sort of PSA, they missed the mark on that, too, as nowhere during the regular episodes is there any mention of a suicide hot-line or how one could get help fighting bullying; in fact, the message delivered was adults won't help you so don't even bother trying.

So bad and for the life of me I can't understand how it's getting such rave reviews. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
