Standing Up

I watch a lot of shows, mostly because I can't sleep at night. I loved all the characters in this show, especially Nazir! They all have a certain grace, in their own way, even the supporting characters. And that's why I think this show is smart and well written, because you can identity with all the characters, even if they are very different from each others. 'Standing up' feels refreshing, funny but not superficial. Most of the shows that are new on Netflix, whether they are comedy shows, dramas, or other genre (I watch them all!), lack of something in my opinion. Inspiration or authenticity I suppose, so they are a non-chemical sleeping pill to me: after watching two episodes I fall asleep. This show kept me awake because I wanted to see more. I hope there will come another season, I will definitely watch it!

And the jokes in the stand-up routines are actually very good. And on top of it, the series touches on some social issues. Well done and hope for more.

You'll love this!

What a find! Great characters, real life issues and a superb script. Very believable and so human. Far too short and praying for another series. Watch it.

I watched on Netflix; this was SO well done with awesome character development. I absolutely love Aissatou, Bling, and Nasir/his girlfriend; I'm hoping for a season 2 as i'd love a follow-up to these characters, definitely binge-worthy.

To be honest I started this series out of curiosity, and I found it very intriguing and funny. It starts off as a classic comedy series before touching and a lot of sensitive topics. The acting stuff was great and the location (Paris) was obviously amazing. Strongly suggested!
