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 :-)
