Compelling characters, good actors, interesting topic. I wasn’t convinced with the trailer, but gave the first episode a try and got hooked.

What is everyone’s opinion?

    I’ve been in from the get-go. I find that I enjoy shows more if I want to like them beforehand and the casting decisions help a lot. Harrison Ford and Jason Segel are solid casts, as is that plastic woman from Scrubs. I forget her name. Ted McGinley is also great in it. And then there’s Brett Goldstein who was excellent in Ted Lasso who just knocks his role out of the park. Music is great throughout, dialogue is strong, character development is excellent.

    All in all it’s a 9.5 for me. There is just one point of criticism on my end. It is portrayed as something close to possibly being real. The characters are perhaps a little too capable of changing, too capable of growth and too understanding sometimes. People generally aren’t really like that, sadly. It’s the same issue I have with The Rookie, it gets a little too wholesome sometimes.

      agreed. the quips are a little too quippy, which is weird because they are all so well written and delivered and the pacing is natural. so it ends up with me wondering why i am lacking these type of interaction in my own life.

        Yeah I think it’s essentially how everyone should aspire to behave to some extent but it’s not as easy as it seems there.
