The lead actress is fantastic as is the rest of the cast with the exception of the character she intertwines with. Tho he can act he isn't believable in his part. Whomever he does a scene with carries him thank goodness. The rest of the cast mesh with everyone else and has that chemistry we all want to see in a series. All are believable in their parts with the exception of Alan. Sorry guy....Natasha Lyonne is superb and has her comedic moments which she does without a blink of an eye which gave me that slow constant laugh as she was speaking. I am hoping season 2 will be an upgrade only because I felt the creator and writers didn't know where to go after awhile even tho the concept was great. Worth the watch anyway.
