What I liked

The writing, the quirky characters, the actors (good work!), and the imagination.

What I didn't like

Felt sometimes as if the director overused the face-to-face stance when the couples were having emotional moments or encounters, so we only saw their profiles, not their full faces.

My overall impression

Such a fun show, clever writing, with a bit of magic — all a welcome comedic relief to daily bad news. Writer Gorski captures, in a unique way, the nuances and wishes of heartbroken people.
