I was drawn to this show when I heard it had Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar (I grew up watching Robin Williams movies and Sarah Michelle Gellar was in the peak of Buffy fame and teen movies when I was a teenager).
I thought it was funny, thought Robin and Sarah work well together, they are both extremely likable and nice to see Hamish Linklater from old Christine in there too.
However it was a little too fast for my liking. I felt like every time I blinked I missed so much. It was only 19 minutes, felt like it would be more enjoyable as maybe an hour show, maybe then I would have had more time to digest jokes and laugh, it just moved so fast, not just dialogue but very quick cuts of shots. Maybe people will like that but I would prefer it just a little slower paced.
I thought it looked really nice aesthetically. Nice and bright lighting, nice production design and the camera was pretty smooth, I'm glad they didn't go the shaky route. What really made me like the show was the heartfelt story. That's what hooked me in, I miss that in a TV show.
So overall I liked it, feel it has a lot of potential, just please slow it down a little so we have more time to digest. Would love to see Sarah and Hamish get a little more screen time and maybe have some time to get to know the characters as well in between the jokes?
