Trailer. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjHfjQDWl1A)

Started this one last night and it was hard to turn it off and go to bed after three episodes.  It's very charming in the same way Ted Lasso is.

Ted McGinley in the minor supporting role of "husband of the nosy neighbor" cracks me up every time he's on screen.  Took me a while to figure out where I knew him from -- "was this guy in something I watched in the 90s?" I asked out loud before figuring it out.

That's a very specific brand of typecasting! I have to assume it was at least somewhat on purpose.

The reviewers really hate this, for the most part.

The trailer kind of makes me hate it. Like, the low-functioning therapist--all the empathy in the world, mind you--is not a sympathetic figure to build a comedy around in my own experience of things. Needs a big sell before I'm like "oh yeah that's the guy I want to care about".

Reactions seem polarized, with most people really liking it and a few people detesting it.  Shrug.  

I had a few people IRL recommend it to me before I decided to give it a try (the only bad reviews I've seen are online), and it just got its hooks into us immediately.

I just think I'd really like something that isn't built about a low-functioning man who needs an entire village of other people to talk him back into adulthood for a change. It's a funny character archetype, only not so much when it's the go-to for almost every male adult in anything comedic.

It's great. Shut the fuck up and watch it.

This is pretty good. It def has some weak points that if someone can't get past I can understand and I'm sorry you aren't having fun with something that def has a lot of fun stuff mixed with enough wow life is shit to make it all seem both light and heavy.

Harrison Ford is great in this.

Show grows on you, like it a lot more now, heading into final episode than I did episode 1.
