bregund I think that some of the negative reviews of this show were a little harsh, of course these characters are ordinary, there's nothing special about any of them, that's the point. They're stuck in the millennial haze of social-media-obsessed society, and nothing they do seems genuine, to the point where Elliott's charity event seems superficial and disingenuous. So when the mystery of Chantal's disappearance gets dumped in Dory's lap, of course she's going to make more of it than it really is, and the results are ultimately hilarious. Dory's overactive imagination is the result of desperately looking for meaning in her life. How rare to find a show that makes you think, for once.Update for season 2: I upgraded my rating for this show because season two is even better than season 1. This show proves what can happen when you focus on the writing, create compelling characters, and balance the unexpected or the absurd with the mundane. Every scene from season 2 is a gem; that whole cupcake scenario was brilliantly written and performed. At first glance the characters in this show appear to lack any depth, but all of them are working some angle for their own benefit. When Julian catches Dory coming out of her apartment and asks for her help, her reaction is priceless...she's dealing with some heavy issues but once she learns that Julian's boss is harassing him, she boldly asks if there's any way to get money out of it.I finally found a new favorite show, and I can't wait for season three.

Beebee This show is fun! It's characters are shallow and the actors portraying them make that somewhat OK if not a little annoying in a fun way. The actors are doing a great job. It's a dark comedy and it's entertaining. It's a little ridiculous which adds to the appeal. The show demonstrates what it can feel like to find something and someone meaningful in life. And how that can change in a sometimes brief time period. Search party in that they're searching for this missing "friend" (acquaintance?) and searching for more substance in their own lives. A little off-beat and enjoyable. I look forward to watching more episodes.

Jessica If you go into this for a cookie-cutter Bones, SVU, CSI type show or constant one-liners you will be disappointed. The characters aren't meant to be likable, but serve to rustle up emotions like annoyance and frustration. The brilliance of this show is its commentary on what it means to search for meaning, fulfillment, and actualization in a post-modernist society. The jokes are subtle and character based. There is a heady dose of nihilism, which is done in a style unlike any other show I've seen, and it's deeply existentialist. This show serves as a mirror into our own lives. That's the kind of mindset it should be viewed in--don't expect to like the characters or a mystery.

erolsabadosh 7 episodes in and I'm hooked! This show is absolutely HILARIOUS!!! The style of humour is somewhere between Broad City and Louis; it's quite dark and weird at times but also fun and irreverent. The cast is awesome, doing a really good job portraying characters who are deeply flawed and making them entertaining to watch. A lot of the comedy stems from making fun of them and the often ridiculous things they do but it's not mean spirited; the show has a real charm to it that makes it ideal for binge watching. Every episode adds another layer to the mystery and we watch the characters unravel and get into ever-increasingly bizarre situations that all had me laughing out loud and often cringing too. One of my new favourites!
