What I liked

The emotional vulnerability and honesty. He captures all the nuance and feelings many men experience when dating and conveys it in healthy ways. It’s a heavy topic, but the touches of humor and lighthearted silliness keeps it hopeful.

What I didn't like

Some of the sound effects went on a bit too long. Could have been tightened up a tad.

My overall impression

This is what positive masculinity looks like. In a world of toxic masculinity where men’s loneliness is used to attack or blame women, this show voices that pain with maturity, humor and empathy. He gives what he asks for, empathy and understanding.
