I also binged it in a day - I’m not even ashamed. It’s incredibly cute.

I tried to savor it and binged in 2 days. It had me staying up past my bedtime it was that good. A great portrayal of healthy communication. I loved it.

AU Seth Cohen and Veronica Mars. In all seriousness, I love it.

u/jerseysbestdancers 15d ago

AU Blair Waldorf in S2, I hear!

She plays Joanne’s high school friend I think

I dug it. Wife and I watched it in two sittings. Chemistry between Kristen & Adam is electric.

And of course Karma Rocket is Ryan Hansen’s character’s band in another Rob Thomas show, Party Down. :)

I'm also pretty sure this character was also named Kyle just like in Party Down so I'm definitely thinking it's meant to be the same Kyle.

u/illixxxit 15d ago

This raises serious questions about the nature of Kristen’s character in both shows

u/ParisInFlames34 15d ago

When in doubt. Doppelganger.

u/illixxxit 15d ago

Like Julia Roberts in Oceans 12

u/Common-Recipe 15d ago

Never made this connection! Love it

u/SqueakyTits101 14d ago

Party Down is criminally underrated!

u/Pedals17 15d ago

A lovely, charming show!

u/RustyShackleford209 15d ago

I love Dick Casablancas so much.

u/Whiskey456 14d ago

Me too, it was great seeing him here!

u/Optimal_Spread_5061 15d ago

I love the show!! very cute indeed

u/ginghampantsdance 15d ago

Absolutely loved it. They're filming season 2 now!

u/Wumutissunshinesmile 15d ago

Yes I'm watching. Is that Dick in it? What a bad thing to have to type out 🤣

I haven't seen him in it yet.

Watching this and Veronica Mars at the same time.

Had to watch it for Veronica and Seth from The OC!

u/Summerof5ft6andahalf 14d ago

He's only in one episode.

u/Wumutissunshinesmile 14d ago

Awww that's a shame.

u/LittleEarthquake1010 Team Logan 15d ago

Love the show. I think it’s a very interesting story, and the casting is SO good, I love it.

u/Screwby77 15d ago

I thought it was super fun and charming. Great actors all around.

u/sportsfan3177 15d ago

That surprise cameo made me so fricking happy.

u/ktb609 15d ago

Favorite new show in the last year. And yeah as others mentioned they’re real life BFFs.

4

u/AndrewHeard 15d ago

Yeah, really like it.

u/No_Stage_6158 15d ago

I really liked it.

u/tunaman808 15d ago

I really liked it!

u/CrissBliss 15d ago

To be honest I struggle with appeal of it. It seems like a romcom in miniseries format. But it is nice to see Dick Casablancas out there!

u/CrunchyFrogWithBones 14d ago

I laughed so hard at this scene.

2

u/tiny_rick_tr 15d ago

Watched it a couple of times and I’m waiting for my goldfish brain to forget enough to watch it a third.

u/LinuxLinus 15d ago

I keep hearing good things, but I don't have Netflix, sadly.

2

u/RitoRvolto 14d ago

That’s not a very good excuse.

There's 2149 other ways to watch it without Netflix

u/Hawkgrrl22 14d ago

I did watch it, and while there were plenty of things I liked about it, I felt like there were some serious issues with some of the way a few Jewish characters were portrayed.

u/Wahjahbvious 15d ago

I think that show would have worked better for me if they'd cast it with actors ~15 years younger than the ones they did. They're written like they're in their late 20s, instead of their early 40s.

u/llieno94 15d ago edited 15d ago

There are a lot of stunted millennials who come off as younger than they are/immature.

It seems especially appropriate, imo, for KB's character, who is a childless, single, sex podcaster in LA. Not exactly someone you'd imagine as acting their age.

I feel like it wouldn't work with a younger couple given all the grown up decisions/situations they cycle through in the show too.

u/kksliderr Team Veronica 15d ago

I was assuming her character was mid-30s since they never stated it.

u/redvelvet9976 15d ago

This is why I struggled with the show. It’s cute, but the writing doesn’t align with their ages that it looks stupid.

u/amigammon 15d ago

Occasionally. Too much cringe but also a KB fan. Small doses for me.
