The biggest compliment I can give to this show is that I have never once checked my phone during it. The storytelling is overall very intellectually funny and satisfying and fresh. The plot is always new and unexpected each episode and the range of emotions he manages to cover is truly incredible. Not just the range itself, but the speed with which he coaxes the viewer to switch emotions is genius. I've gone from laughing out loud to having a pit in my stomach as these real people describe real problems and real perspectives that I've never considered - or, contrarily, that I've lived myself and find deep connection with. In short, watch this show with the caveat that it requires an open mind, a curious soul, and an empathetic heart. If you go into it with those qualifications I guarantee you will love it as much as I do.
