In a word: Fantastic. From the beginning this show is very funny, with a clever twist on a familiar sci-fi premise -- but it's not clear if it will transcend the self-satirical navel-gazing ennui of the first episode. Rest assured, it does.In a word: Fantastic. From the beginning this show is very funny, with a clever twist on a familiar sci-fi premise -- but it's not clear if it will transcend the self-satirical navel-gazing ennui of the first episode. Rest assured, it does. This hero's journey of self-discovery is in turns hysterical (in both senses of the term), biting, frustrating, thoughtful, sexy, moving, and ultimately life-affirming.

Halfway through the series my primary complaint was that there wasn't enough of it, but there is so much packed into each half-hour, by the end I felt 7 episodes was just right. Now I'm just sad not enough people will see it. Definitely worth sitting through a few commercials to watch on my Roku-enabled TV, or the hassle of signing up for a trial subscription.
I hesitate when I see a creator/writer/director/producer/star, but Zoe Lister-Jones pulls it off.
