Surprisingly wonderful!
I picked up this show in between finishing my 2 previous shows and before another one I was looking forward to had started airing - partly because it was only 24 episodes long, and also because of the shorter episode length....I totally didn't expect to get so into it that I watched the entire season over the Easter weekend, to the point I didn't start one of the shows I'd been waiting for!
This was a much-needed counterpoint to the serious, darker shows I've watched recently - the balance of plot, character development and lighthearted scenes all blended really well which is a real credit to the main cast who are mostly younger than in other similar shows.
I'm really quite disappointed now that it was only 24 episodes long!
The only niggle I have is not knowing what happened to one of the characters, but the extra scenes at the end made me stroke my imaginary beard in thought... 🤔

A hidden gem!
I'm so glad I found this show!It was an absolute joy to watch, and had me laughing out loud in parts from the genius writing as it plays against genre tropes and it provided a real balm to my troubled soul. The pace was OK, though a little rushed at the end (like so many shows) but the fact that there was an actual real plot that carried the show along through the joyfully hilarious parts was a rare treat
The only possible downfall is that if you've not watched a lot of this kind of genre it'll probably confuse you in places as the acting/responses might not make sense, or seem out-of-place.
Overall though, I am SO pleased that I found this - to the point that I stopped watching all other shows to binge this :-)
