Sort Of

Lockdown has narrowed my circle of friends and people so I loved engaging with this unique story of Sabi. They are beautifully complex and I was hooked from the first episode. It's clever in offering insights into the LGTBIQ community as well as pressures of migrant children. Support characters are also unique and engaging and I learnt how to use the pronouns 'they' and 'them'.

I wanted so badly to fall in love with this because I loved the character of Sabi and the story they were telling. I had a harder time with some of the supporting characters that just didn't feel very real. The last two episodes are really excellent, I think they might've found their groove and I hope next season builds on this.

Unpretentious & fluid, I feel the rating should be higher, as it deserves better markings than these. It is a kind of 'coming of age story' presented in well-cut dynamics of situations and emotions.

I seriously don't understand why people are rating this show so badly it is a good show indeed, The acting is great the writing is there too, there is some drama, there is comedy and the show is indeed different, The only thing that I don't quite understand is the end because there is not really an end and I'm glad about the show is refreshing.

Every once in a while, there is a character in art that I wish I could know. Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov, from Gentlemen in Moscow, Fleabag's main character and the refreshing lead character, Sabi, in "Sort Of." Sabi struggles with where to draw the line of showing up for others in need that you care about and excepting/valuing yourself enough to show up for your own best life. And the struggle of figuring out what your own best life looks like. For me this is the main question of the piece and the writing is pristine. It's funny, sensitive and poignant all at once. Biala Baig is a wonderful actress and writer. I can't emphasis enough how much I love this show!
