I've been a big Maya Rudolph fan dating back to her SNL days and I'm really glad to see her in a lead role. Overall the show is funny, but not necessarily hilarious. A lot of chuckles with just a few legit LOL moments sprinkled in. Overall, it's disappointing strictly from a comedy level. My biggest criticism of the show is that it sometimes seems to get in its own way and will occasionally abandon a relatively minor subplot. It doesn't really affect the show overall, but I do find myself occasionally asking myself "What ever happened to...?" Sometimes the dialogue and/or plot is pretty predictable, so the show does lack some originality from time to time. The casting is really good though, tbh. I'm really enjoying the job everyone is doing with their individual characters, though I do feel like the writing is sometimes a little too forced and doesn't provide a lot of opportunity for character development. What really saves the show is the overall premise of a ridiculously wealthy woman looking for purpose. The not so subtle way the show addresses the 1 percenters being completely out of touch with reality and the harm that their existence causes as you make your way down the economic ladder. While the show certainly could be better, it's definitely not bad. And the fact that these are only half hour episodes makes each season an easy binge.
