Everything is fleet and light, nothing outstays its welcome and the audience is left to be swayed – should they need it – towards the message of tolerance by the joyful insouciance of the whole thing, rather than any heavy-handed lectures or rigid point of view. Read full review

Episodes improve after the pilot with a shift in focus to the characters and their relationships, but the season finale shifts tones again into a gear that seems like blatant begging for a second season. Read full review

Doyle isn't interested in exploring the B.D.S.M. world or Pete and Tiff's knotty friendship (of course they have an abortive hookup in their past) with any complexity. He instead privileges his own point of view, via Pete, as the sassy outsider who's above it all. Though Scannell is talented enough, at least, to make the character's bug-eyed tsk-tsk-iness tolerable. Read full review

I didn't know what to expect from this show - but at the end I felt invested in the characters and overall story bits.

Also great color composition and audio design all way through.… Expand

This was the most hideous thing I've watched in a long time. And I was expecting close to nothing as I was just looking for something to binge in a few hours. Ironic how I'm dealing with this review right now though.

If this poor review somehow reaches to the creators of this show, I am sorry if I chagrin you. I don't mean to be a toxic reviewer, but come on man how can you release such a sleazy show?

I am not a guy who knows technical terms for criticizing a TV show so excuse my wording but I guess this is what User Reviews are for.

The show tells absolutely no story. It feels like some unrelated random scenes with some familiar characters in an order for 7 episodes. On writing, some characters are not considered to contribute to the story (if you can call it that) whatsoever. I still don't see the point of the backstory of the characters. There isn't a clear motive for them to be in the situation they are in (dom job and moving to the city?). I was genuinely surprised by the finale episode as it was the peak of this coarseness, I couldn't believe that anyone in 21st century would write this episode, film, produce (whatever you do) it and release it on the biggest online TV service provider.

I gave 2 points score because of some jokes I laughed and maybe the bold choice of topic.… Expand
