So guy has an obsessive crush on a girl. He seems a little neuroatypical so we can be nice, but he genuinely thinks being persistent is the way to get the girl and asks her out a 56th time getting a 'no' every time. She agrees to a single date hoping he'll be able to let it go once he sees they won't work, and he actually gets mad at her on the date for not liking and appreciating everything he does for her (good guy vibes right here), then dies trying to take an instragram photo to impress her in the most cringy way possible.
Girl has a guy she genuinely likes who likes her back, but the guy and obsessive boy are friends and he's too shy to make a move until his friend dies. They finally make a connection at his funeral.
Low and behold stalker boy raises from the dead and now must stay within 30 ft of girl because of a cursed necklace he gave her when they dated in 4th grade. Cue the comedy!
Except... Not. Okay, I really liked the setup and the characters. The thing I was waiting for was for zombie boy to finally understand that he never saw girl for who she was because he only saw his own fantasies. That he was never respectful of her and to truly let it sink in that he was told no 55 times. That they really had no future and trying to force her to be with him was unfair to her. Then deciding to do the best thing possible and give his closest and shy friend his blessing to date girl, and passing on with a bittersweet ending.
They didn't do any of that. This is like a love story for incels.

Had some funny moments & not a series to be took seriously.
After reading some reviews,would of thought she(lead)was victimized: Stop making everything a political statement if you don't like something in a movie/show,such as it sends a wrong message about not understanding the word"no"by a female.
Cast,acting & cinematography was decent,worth checking out!

This show actually has a lot of heart and charm. The cast is small enough and the episodes are short enough to make it easy to track. Also the characters were likable and the dialogue is pretty smart. While there's a lot of cliche elements, the show sort of presents it in a satirical manner, which makes it work. I will admit there were some transitions that seemed a bit abrupt and some of the scenes are predictable, but overall it was enjoyable. I watched it all in one sitting and found myself chuckling every so often.
Katherine Hughes and Medalion Rahimi (from Before I Fall, and who plays an agent on NCIS Los Angeles) are both beautiful and funny. As is Ryan Lee.
I think the scripts are good and the premise is unique, and everyone's timing is on point.
The show had me laughing out loud even though I'm not really their demographic. Some might think it a silly high school comedy, which it is, but I enjoyed it a lot.
Plus, although he is used sparingly, it has the talented Rickey Eugene Brown who I saw displaying his acting skills in Your Honor the day before, but here does comedy as Mason the jock.
I watched all 8 episodes over 2 days, and like most of the binge-able 22-minute comedy shows I try to watch, I did not regret doing so.
I still have 2 episodes of Cobra Kai I can't ever seem to find the time for.

This show will make you laugh, cry and hope for another season. Great acting with touching scenes and a cast of great actors. I highly recommend.
