Beefed up dramedy

Warning: Spoilers
This is a great watch especially for the average adult. It just hits you different. It makes it somehow relatable, at least to me it did.

The comedy is serious gets you with the scenes and not one off jokes or like slapstick (which isn't bad but depends on people, I prefer mine like this). Not light hearted. This show gets dark. I felt like I started questioning myself watching this. The drama pairs well with it too. Since the 'gravity' of their life situations just pushes them to do not so smart choices that lead to absurd moments. You don't know what happens next.

As for the characters they make you feel both sorry for them the longer you watch as the layers of why they act the way they do makes more sense but also you know their actions aren't exactly something applaudable. It makes it feel real since they're not hollow but complex. They're broken people just wanting to live.

It somehow feels like Everything Everywhere All at Once with the existential crisis and chaos of relationships except this one isn't fantasy. But anyway I highly recommend. There's some lull in the early half but it gets wilder as you go so I suggest to continue watching. It's worth it.

It's a resolved open ending, not a cliffhanger so if you're worrying on that part. Warning there's some blood and brief nudity.
