Too Much

The main character jokes around and makes looks so much that it's not even believable as a real person. Even when she's supposed to be heartbroken it is a farce. Cringy. I'd like some character with substance. No one in the world acts the way these characters do but the main character more so than others. No substance at all just one "joke" after the other.

Nope, just not it. Could not get in to the main character. I find her too be very egoistic, way too dramatic and very self-centred.

As a European it is way too much American exaggerated drama about feelings and making it all about you.

First episode started out strong but just didn't get picked up after. The obsessive part with the ex wavering on way too long during the season. With in the end kind of soft boring ending.

Did like a lot of the acting and the different characters, but the script can use a little less of the almost hateful main character.

Definitely way "too much". Would I recommend, no. Would I watch again, no. Would I wish for my time back, YES!

So many wasted talents in this yawn of a comedy. Will Sharp is the reason for two of the three stars, hopefully this will lead to bigger and better things.

The ensemble characters are a bunch of stereotypes, choosen to complete a checklist of visibility.

The biggest problem is the total unlikeability of the main character. You really stop caring about her crash life in London very quickly. The "funny" social situations are so contrived they become just silly. The written tries too hard to cover issues, emotions etc.

A special mention for Jennifer Saunders playing an unfunny version of Abfab Eddie

It tries to too hard and fails dramatically, if you want to see a well written female lead comedy watch Fleabag (or even Miranda)

Overall, a good storyline and premise but there are so many unfortunate issues with everything.

1. The way the lead female has been written as an insufferable, overly dramatic, whiny "quirky" girl is frustrating to say the least. It unfortunately leans into so many damaging stereotypes of women.

2. Costumes for lead female - what were they thinking?? Not justice for her at all.

3. Generally not the lived experience of "chubby" girls. I hate that it insinuates this is the lived experience of a confident woman who feels sexy and pulls men instantly. This is NOT the experience for 99% of larger women, and it's ridiculous to suggest so. I am so glad there is space for stories like this, where larger women get the man & enjoy sex and are confident in themselves. But I think this is overdone and almost offensive.

4. The script. Just frustrating and annoying. Tries too hard to be whimsical, quirky and candid but again, comes across as trying to hard and it's so obvious.

After watching the entire series, I realized it felt like a social commentary on our individualistic and narcissistic culture. It made me sad, and I think it was supposed to make me laugh. It felt like everybody was so egotistical in this series there was not one redeeming character, including the protagonist. I wanted to like her a little more, but I just couldn't. She just kept sabotaging herself. Also, this series felt like it lacked a really good, strong plot sometimes it felt quite boring and like they were stretching the series for more episodes. I gave it a higher score because I loved all of the actors performances. It was nice to see Lena again, and I know she created this. I would say this had a beautiful moments and very disturbing moments, but I'm not going to be recommending it overall.
