What I liked

I loved the journey Saurabh took us on. He is a great storyteller. Saurabh’s comedic background really shined through and served him well. So many times he planted the seed of an idea early on in the show and then leveraged it later on in a very impactful way (ex. Zion’s theory). In addition it was such a vulnerable and personal story. Saurabh really let us in to the story with his honesty.

What I didn't like

When it ended I really wanted to stay on the journey longer. I could have used some wrap up on how his experience at Oxford ended and how his relationship with the central characters culminated. But that feedback is just a comment on how great the story is and how invested I was.

My overall impression

Saurabh painted such a vivid picture of the time, place, and people and did it with an incredible mix of humor and heart. The highest compliment I can give is for an hour everything else in my head went away and I was completely locked into his journey. Baccalaureate is the type of coming of age story everyone can relate to. Just an all around awesome show!
