How a company with all the money in the world, literally, could pass on picking this pilot up to series is beyond me. Courageous, hilarious, well cast, and with a lead in Bridget Everett who could carry an entire season on her own, Amazon has yet again proven cheap and incompetent with their decision making..
I've yet to see a comedy weave such sensitive subject matter in a more humanized, proud way than this one pilot episode did. I shouldn't have to mention again that Bridget Everett did an amazing job, and deserved to have a full season. Anyone that watched this knows that. Jeff Bezos and his billionaire friends apparently didn't.

I knew Bridgett Everett from her cameos here and there and her outing in her own show did not disappoint. I like her unique perspective and that the humor is not pretentious. What's more, this show delivers the pathos you'd expect from contemporary premium comedies with a fresh take on the classic trope of lovable ragtag students (in this case, young adults with down syndrome). I could see Bridgett Everett and Jamie Brewer going for the Emmy! Looking forward to see more.

This has to be produced as a series. The pilot was fantastic and shows so much potential to become a classic. Come on Amazon...

This show is hilarious and everything that I love about Ms. Everett herself. It takes you on a journey of laughter and brings you to a place of warmth. You will see things you don't normally see on TV. I'm so happy as well that they hired a wealth of special needs actors! Amazon please order a full season!

One of the best original funny, poignant series I've seen for ages. Seriously hope it makes it past the pilot. It's hilarious, well written, deals with sensitive issues fantastically, I speak from experience. Left me wanting more LOVED IT. Highlights reality in a cringe worthy, yet humorous way. I was glued to the TV waiting for the next bit.

I stumbled across the pilot of this new Amazon Series (or potential series) and thought it hilarious but wonderful too. It's about a woman who is big in every aspect of her body, personality and life. She has a fascinating sex life for one thing, and a really interesting role as a caring human being - looking after brilliantly envisaged and acted characters in a care home for Downs' people. It's funny, quirky, shocking and moving, sometimes all at the same time. It's great to see a portrayal of what seems a real (if unusual) and strong woman in a non-clichéd way. I really hope Amazon turn this into a fully fledged series.

This show is unique and fresh. It is hilarious! I was upset to learn that Amazon passed on this show. I really was looking forward to seeing the complete season. I hope Netflix picks it up or Amazon changes their mind and picks it up again. Keeping my fingers crossed.
This show was a witty, entertaining breath of fresh air in a culture of neutered sitcoms. The fact that this show was cancelled proves that the golden age of television is dead and we should all read more. I have lost faith in humanity more specifically the hacks responsible for this egregious travesty.
