What I liked
I really enjoyed the juxtaposition of silly and serious in this show- there was a clear message about the slippery slope of unbridled capitalistic ambition and systemic anti-feminism in today’s world, taken to the end stage. It really resonated with me, especially during the climactic “pre-finale” (there’s got to be a better word for this, sorry theater people).
I also really loved the way Emma does flashbacks in this show, and the way she incorporates the audience into the story as baby girls or when we get to be the council of daddies.

My overall impression
As a corporate boy, this was a little too real, but in the best way. A lot of this show’s point applies to my life, and Emma we’re the same age so I really feel ya. I really enjoyed the story, and the larger universe/lore that Emma has crafted- it was believable and so engaging from start to finish. The underlying message is powerful and more applicable to millennial existentialism with each passing day.
I hear you, Emma. Will I ever be anything more than a Cool Aunt at my own space company?
