It starts off as a show showing how weird and eccentric New York City can be and feels like a show that is exploiting this in order to come off as more interesting than it really should be, Brooklyn in particular. But then it reveals the complexity, frailty, and humanity of its characters, and the idea of the city as a character quickly dissapears. I like the show because of its infectious positivity and feel good nature, and it reminds me of what I love about urban environments.
It is a mix of a lot of different shows. It does check off a lot of boxes though, and I doubt closed minded individuals will be able to see past the aesthetics; there is a lot going on here. It will have to evolve past the tropes of shows with Black female protagonists, weight challenged protagonists, etc to find its way. As it is I can't see it getting past a second season.
