“As others have said, when I started this I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it. Deirdre, the MC and who we hear for the majority of the first couple eps, is very much trying to Put On a Show, and it’s not working. But as the layers get unpeeled, as her vulnerability becomes clear, and as we meet the other characters, this show clicks. It becomes something that wears its entire heart on its sleeve, awkwardly, vulnerably, bravely. It elevates those needing a hand, it cuts on the light for those in the dark. And tbh there are a couple (minor) storytelling elements that don’t click with me, but gosh on the whole this show is powerful. Moved me to tears multiple times by acknowledging the heartache of nostalgia and growing old, and providing comfort with full sincerity.
Also there’s some seriously catchy tunes!”
