Everything's Gonna Be Okay

I haven't watched Please Like Me at all, but this seemed cute from the ads. I think the two daughters are both great actresses and characters, and I'm enjoying the relationship between Nick and Alex. I thought Nicholas's character was unnecessarily childish during some of the scenes in the first half of the pilot, but he got better even in just that episode. I'm finding the relationships between Genevieve and her friends inexplicable and inconsistent, but maybe that's how teenage friendships are in the real world? I certainly hope that group is not the focus of too many episodes, though. I will definitely keep watching! It's not perfect, but it's early, and it's definitely not the "unwatchable trash" that certain people with some underlying philosophical differences would like you to believe..

The thing I love about Josh is that he always puts his character in the position of being the least desirable. Unpopular choices, unpleasant attitudes and yet there is something that keeps you tied and you want to see where the character wants to take you. In this series, unlike Please like me, the narrative is a little more confusing to follow because it is a roller coaster of events that often turns out to be a bit hard to believe but I think that's the point. We are looking for a world in which everyone can be free to be themselves and in the situations that the show proposes there is the absolute anarchy of the characters who decide to undertake a path and then retrace their steps and total acceptance by the other characters. I understand that it is a bit difficult to follow but I think it is a very brave choice to propose something like this.

This show is very similar to the main character's other show he wrote Please Like Me. It's cring-y but in a way that grows on you and makes you laugh. It addresses horribly dark situations the way any awkward millennial would address them, with an uncomfortable joke.

Josh Thomas has a wonderfully creative mind. I loved Please Like Me, and this show is amazingly wonderful.

This show has got one of the finest pilots that I have ever seen. It had me laughing out loud, crying and fully feeling everything for the main characters.

It is one of the first tv shows where one of the main teen characters is played by someone on the ASD spectrum, hopefully being able to have impact on what is written and how it comes across. It might be perceived cringeworthy to some, but... it's upping the perception of autism as it is different in everyone, and I for one love the brutal honesty in the dialogue.

Great representation of LGBTQ+ and the issues that are a part of this in our modern lives. It gives me hope, as more representation appears in mainstream tv, that there will be a time where my existence and marriage to my husband won't have to be explained anymore.
