First off, this show feels like it already knows what it wants to be, so taking the slow route to lay the story out might turn some viewers off in the beginning.
That said, it felt like my kinda show from the get go. It's a sweet blend of dark offbeat comedy, encroaching dramatic moments, and an incredible performance (even just episode 1 alone) from Patricia Arquette.
Without spoiling the first episode, there are a few moments where Arquette's character shines as something truly unique. It feels like a lot of other shows try to get there, but idk maybe the mix of writing (letting the show breathe a bit) and Arquette just being Arquette truly moves this show towards something special.
I'm excited to see more from Opia, Garrett, and Dillon (among others), I think as time goes on these characters will grow into their own. I'm noticing a pattern w/ Apple TV originals where they build a strong premise with a single character to hook you, and then slowly allow the entire ensemble to shine. Looking forward to watching more!
