Daniel K @RT32179720 Mar 2 what can i say? just amazing, funny, creative, heartfelt. See more Filme B. @Cinemagic Dec 11 A charming, dry, deadpan celebration of the mundane. See more Jon A @RT45666446 May 15 An absolutely satisfying, subtle, charming series. At first I worried it wouldn’t gel, but it took no time for me to fall in love with everything about this story and these characters. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so good about a TV show before. I hope I can find others by this production company/director/writers. See more Read all reviews
