What I liked

EVERYTHING! The entire show I was simply blown away. Alexandra’s acting was phenomenal. Each character felt perfectly unique and distinct, each line hit the right emotional cord, and the comedy and reality balanced each-other out perfectly.

What I didn't like

I genuinely couldn’t find a single thing I disliked or felt needed improvement. The show genuinely felt so well rounded. And Alexandra once again portrayed each character and moment without missing a single beat. :)

My overall impression

A breathtakingly brilliant, vulnerable, and beautiful deep dive into the psyche of a child to adult in the midst of a turbulent family. It touches on the mental turmoil of the family scapegoat, the gut-wrenching guilt that comes with loss, and every messed up circumstance in between that comes with the territory. Alexandra’s performance perfectly brought everything to life with the perfect mix of comedy, emotion, and overall LIFE. 10/10 would 100% recommend! Wish I could watch it twice.
