Just like with Ugly Betty, the supporting cast is everything.
I love Molly Shannon and I wish she had more of a caustic funny role- But the hoarding we find out about at the end is really funny. Vanessa Byers is better in small doses. Her big ole grin schtick gets old and then she alternates between goody goody good girl and then foul mouthed sailor. It doesn't read.
The real stars of this are the supporting cast. Jennifer Lewis who plays Patricia is just phenomenal. The characters of Darcy, Beema, Beth Ann, and Perry are all hysterically funny. It wanders off into a little woke BS occasionally but that's to be expected unfortunately. The love story between Vanessa Byers and what's his face is boring and forgettable.
Watch it simply for the supporting cast performances.
