    I need other season!

    I love love lighthearted female lead shows. This show was outstanding and eight episodes wasn't enough.

    I don't think I've ever seen Michelle Buteau in anything but now I love her. She plays this role well. I'm like is this how she is in real life because she nailed it.

    The writing is so well done! I love that it's not a lot of heavy drama and plenty of funny moments.

    I love that her best-friend was a straight gentle, loving and supportive black guy because we don't see that kind friendship enough on tv.

    I liked how towards the end we got to see her interacting with her roommate more because I thought it was weird how she moved in and had her friends over often but we rarely saw the roomate.

    By next week I'll probably be watching it again because I miss it already!

    Words cannot describe how much I am loving this show.

    I have laughed. I have cried. I am beyond excited about the positive messages surrounding sexuality, relationships, correcting outdated AF stereotypes, friendships, and love (all kinds) that have been shown. I wish more shows portrayed friendships and relationships and particularly breakups and communication how this show has! With the amount of influence media has on everyone, I want everyone to see how all different kinds of relationships and the (good) conflict that exist in the world and all the different kinds of people that are part of who we are can be so wonderfully amazing... watch this show!

    This is a niche treasure.

    If you not of a certain population or display hatred towards certain populations, you will not be desiring to watch this wonderful creation by Michelle Buteau. It definitely appeals to those who are real and have real lives. This show is a masterpiece of realness. Keep it up. Everyone will not like it but there is no need to bashed it. Just move on. I love it. The show features people who make of real life and surround the world daily. If you want to open your mind watch the show to experience difference that exist in the world through this show. I am so glad there is a show which really appeals to the world.

    So I just started the first episode, but I've been laughing so hard I give it a 10 out of 10

    I've been having a lot of fun so far. I'll give an updated review later on but so far laughing my ass off! L O L! I love Michelle she is a delight. It is so fun keep it coming!!!!! She is such a silly mess!!! I love it!!!!! I love her personality. It's so relatable but at the same time edgy and Fun, it's very refreshing. I love Michelle! This show is great! Also, I love that even when she thought of giving up she kept going thank you it's motivating it's inspiring but it's fun it's not preachy as she said it's the "mo-ment!" I just finished the first episode and loved everything about it down to the music!!!

    Haven't seen something this GOOD in a while

    Just on all fronts; production, acting, writing, etc. This show made me feel things in the absolute best way.

    Funny and light and still hitting those deep spots that make you real emotional.

    A story about empowerment, hope, relationships, dreaming big and striving for diversity.

    I have been a big fan of Michelle Buteau for a minute and in this series she reaches all time highs with her charismatic and powerful character Mavis.

    Not only does she play the part so well, she also co-wrote it which makes so much sense since she makes the whole series feel like the most realistic dream-montage.

    It better be getting a second season!
