A perfect blending of writing, directing and acting. Absolutely hilarious and at times heartbreaking (the ending with the origamis put me through a whole box of Kleenex). I have never laughed so much...or cried so much... during a series; the very clever dialogue was superbly presented by both leads, both of whom were on their A game. I'm sure both Applegate and Cardinelli improvised many of their lines because their reactions to each other were incredibly genuine. As far as the SJW stuff is concerned...well, Jen doesn't like elephants being killed for ivory. Who does?! And, yes, Jen does make efforts at being 'woke' (I hate that word, it's stupid) but that's part of the joke. Jen isn't woke at all but she tries because she lives in Laguna, CA for crying out loud- the Land of Woke. She fails miserably in her attempts and the result is hysterical.
Every actor in this fantastic effort is on point- they couldn't be any better or funnier. Perez the detective...she is the hidden gem in this series and holds her own in this wonderfully assembled cast. Every time she appears it's a guaranteed laugh fest. There is definitely a "Will Ferrell" influence, you can see and hear it- and it's a plus to be sure. Do yourself a BIG favor- watch this, you will fall in love. xoxo
