You Me Her

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 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 was worried that this was going to either be sleazy or boring when I saw the ad. However I was pleasantly surprised when I watched the first episode. It was funny and charming. I was hooked. As I further watched the episodes it would get slow at times in telling the stories, but remained funny and I never lost my concern for the characters. I am looking forward to the next season and see where the story leads. The other characters really help the characters as well, filling the story nicely. I only rated this an 8 because sometimes the story would move slower than it needed to. I imagine that's because they had to fill time. I hope this is not an issue in the upcoming seasons.

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.

It's a very charming show with many likeable characters and witty dialogue. The whole premise is also kinda interesting and you feel for the people in the show. Where it falls a bit short is in the constant back and forth in our "throuple" where they never seem to be able to make up their mind and keep making weird decisions. Also for some strange reasons some characters suddenly disappear from the show without any explanation which I guess is because the actors got a different job somewhere else.... In summary it is a descent feel good serie
