What I liked

I liked the topics of the vignettes and thought they were well chosen, esp the LGBT one and the sexual harrassment one. They were very relatable and well written as to how actual conversations would go to friends I know. The cast is really great as well- I really appreciated the diversity too.

What I didn't like

I felt like there were some challenges with pacing, e.g. lulls in some of the scenes, and that pauses could be used more at key points to let them sink in, e.g. the last vignette with the mother and daughter when the mother admits she went through the same thing the daughter did.

My overall impression

The show felt like it was a giant enpathetic hug for all the frustrations we’ve all been feeling. It was touching, with some funny elements, and I really liked the cast.
