I Love That for You

Just like with Ugly Betty, the supporting cast is everything.

I love Molly Shannon and I wish she had more of a caustic funny role- But the hoarding we find out about at the end is really funny. Vanessa Byers is better in small doses. Her big ole grin schtick gets old and then she alternates between goody goody good girl and then foul mouthed sailor. It doesn't read.

The real stars of this are the supporting cast. Jennifer Lewis who plays Patricia is just phenomenal. The characters of Darcy, Beema, Beth Ann, and Perry are all hysterically funny. It wanders off into a little woke BS occasionally but that's to be expected unfortunately. The love story between Vanessa Byers and what's his face is boring and forgettable.

Watch it simply for the supporting cast performances.

I know we're only 3 episodes in so far but my god this is good!!! This is pure gold. Vanessa is incredible!! Everyone in the cast is excellent. Such perfect comedy and timing. The writing it great. I absolutely love everything about this show so far. MORE!! PLEASE!!

Despite a strong supporting cast, Bayer lacks the comedic and acting chops to create a character to care about and root for. There's some fun shallow glam humor but the scripts are generally pretty blah.

Molly Shannon is a perfect fit in this comedy; Vanessa Bayer is her usual goofy self. Jenifer Lewis's character is basically the Miranda Priestly of TV sales. If you've watched home shopping channels, this feels oh-so-real and a parody of a lot of the current band of shopping hosts out there. It's even set in Pennsylvania just like a certain channel that shall remain nameless. I enjoy the feel and sharp quick wit of the writing, so it travels at my speed of humor. I recommend giving it a try!

Anyone watching this series shouldn't be expecting ground breaking comedy! This series is just for lighthearted fun and entertainment. I jumped on this show because Molly Shannon is one of the main characters and each show has been a fun 30 minutes. Vanessa Bayer, Jenifer Lewis, Paul James and all the other cast members work flawlessly as a group.

You can't go wrong watching this topial comedy of average people seeking fame on TV no matter what the path brings into their life. And the message made very clear - the material world can't bring happiness! As Darcy discovers.
