Season 1 Review:
Laid feels incomplete in some ways, and you might not catch that initially. Hsu's performance is bright, and her star power is often enough to distract. Still, the more I thought about the show and its ending, the more frustrated I became with what felt like wasted time on certain plots over others and a lead-up to an intentionally ambiguous ending.

Season 1 Review:
The resulting series has a lot of fun with its premise, boosted even further by the affectionate repartee between stars Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet. But the more that central idea is treated as a thing to be understood in functional terms and not just as a colorful metaphor, the less interested I became. By the time the show reached its over-explained final episodes, I was more than ready for a tight, finite conclusion. Instead, Laid sets itself up for possibly the least narratively necessary second season in recent years.

Season 1 Review:
Once Ruby exhibits actual personal growth and Hsu gets to capably play it, the stakes and story deepen around her, and the show even finds legs as an ensemble outside of the main two leads. If there is a second season — and the ending certainly requests as much — a little generosity for Ruby and her crew could go a long way.
