Absolutely loved this series. One big drawback. It's over I have to wait months for season 2!
I've always loved Apatow's work, ever since Freaks and Geeks. But this is his best, most creative -- and very risky -- work yet.
It starts off very slow. I wasn't even sure I liked it, or even whether I thought the characters were believable for the first couple of episodes. But it grows on you, and then, something really big happens. You start to fall in love with these two, seemingly incompatible, even ridiculous people. And then, you can't get enough of them, and then their ups and downs start to make you choke up and you never want this to end.
What seemed strangely "raw" directing, writing and acting, turns out to be amazingly honest and rich and unadorned and beautiful.
And Gillian Jacobs --- this girl is going to be huge! I can't stop watching her.
I can't wait for season two.
