Everything's Gonna Be Okay

Josh Thomas has a wonderfully creative mind. I loved Please Like Me, and this show is amazingly wonderful.

What a great representation autism it is so nice to relate to characters I am seeing.

This show is very similar to the main character's other show he wrote Please Like Me. It's cring-y but in a way that grows on you and makes you laugh. It addresses horribly dark situations the way any awkward millennial would address them, with an uncomfortable joke.

I haven't watched Please Like Me at all, but this seemed cute from the ads. I think the two daughters are both great actresses and characters, and I'm enjoying the relationship between Nick and Alex. I thought Nicholas's character was unnecessarily childish during some of the scenes in the first half of the pilot, but he got better even in just that episode. I'm finding the relationships between Genevieve and her friends inexplicable and inconsistent, but maybe that's how teenage friendships are in the real world? I certainly hope that group is not the focus of too many episodes, though. I will definitely keep watching! It's not perfect, but it's early, and it's definitely not the "unwatchable trash" that certain people with some underlying philosophical differences would like you to believe..

If you were a fan of Please Like Me you'll find a lot to love here (especially the soundtrack, either reworn straight from PLM or the same composer, it would seem), with the same bittersweet and semi acidic take on slice of life dramedy. The show opens quite fast and has a bit of a softer touch, Josh seems a bit more grown up but the characters are still self deprecating and human. Please like me grew exponentially and tremendously from its first season (which was still incredibly charming) so with this quality out the gate, it's exciting to see where this new series goes.
