You Me Her

I only really finished it as I hate dropping a show half way through. In a way I wish I had as season 4 was poor and season 5 I was relieved to finish. No spoilers, but it started off very promisingly but the writers seemed to run out of material.

This is a great show that has wonderful writing and great character development, including the characters that are not at the forefront of the show. All of the actors do a great job with the material and are extremely likable (or unlikable as it may be called for.) I am very hopeful that Audience (& AT&T) chooses to continue to produce such fresh content. They've taken something that could be construed as very abnormal and have boiled it down to a narrative that almost everyone can relate to. Complacency, guilt, desire, love,commitment, feeling lost, evaluation of your life - all these things in this package. If you aren't watching, you should.

The main situation gives a lot of opportunity to show the possible dynamics of polyamory, but it does nothing with the opportunities. All the main and most of the support characters are shallow, childish and so naive. This is the main source of the conflicts, but no worries everything can be solved with a fair amount of weed, alcohol and sex. I can't say that the characters are not lovable, and it is clearly that the attractiveness took a great part of casting, but the characters motivations and problem solving capabilities are so simple that it hurts the brain.

I saw the previews for this and had intended to skip. I don't personally by into the polyamory thing as I don't see anything but heartbreak ahead for someone. Still one night I was surfing and it was on and I was hooked. 1st of all, I knew the girl who played Izzy looked familiar but had no idea she was Chloe on Rookie Blue. I must say I love her much better in this.

As for the show itself, the writing is incredible. I find it light hearted, authentic and just wonderful. The acting is sublime and the chemistry between all of the characters, not just the three main characters, is better than just about any television show I've seen. Even the characters I want to kick in the teeth, (ex: Stalker Andy, Nosy Lori and her daughter) I love because they're so well written. And I won't lie, the chemistry between Emma and Izzy is magnetic, IMO there are way more feelings between Izzy and Emma than either woman with poor Jack.

This is not a 'sex' show. There are intimate scenes but it's not Game of Thrones. There's no naked people so if that's what people are looking for they will be disappointed. This is a story about unexpected desire I guess (I wouldn't call it love in this stage of the game) and following your heart and while I can't relate at all to the "three-way" idea, nor do I want to, I can relate to complicated feelings. Just enjoy this for what it is. A rather sweet story about relationships of all kinds.

The good: Rachel Blanchard!! She is absolutely wonderful in this role.

The bad: Izzy. For some reason the show treats her like she's fun, quirky, and irresistible. In reality, she's immature, petulant, and completely insufferable. It's a mystery why even one person would want to be with her let alone two and she basically ruins an otherwise enjoyable show.
