What I liked

I loved the writing, and obviously the music. The piece hits on messaging of relationships and creativity that really resonated. I just really loved the show as a whole.

What I didn't like

N/a

My overall impression

Carli is so charmingly funny in this show, I find myself rooting for her even as her haunted intentions grow darker. The music in this show is genuinely beautiful, both in composition and performance. There are seriously moments where I felt like I was being treated to an intimate performance of an acclaimed music artist’s new song. I would describe it as a folk music horror rom com which is an unexpected and completely delightful blend.
