Yeah, I just don’t see a majority of the jokes on the show hitting if you don’t live in New York or LA. Like, “Entourage” or “Sex and the City” had more mass appeal than this. And I say this as a fan of Rachel Sennott.
I watched episode 3 and I feel like only the dude who was in English Teacher has nailed the right vibe so far. He’s playing a terrible guy in a kind of delicious fun way, which I think is what a show like this needs to be very heavy on. The other characters feel like they’re trying to thread the needle on poking fun but doing it in a cutesy way and keeping their coolness and they should just be unrelentingly awful and have fun being awful and perceived as awful by onlookers in the show.
Yeah he’s easily the best part. The nepo baby is the worst. Poorly written and acted. That scene at her dad’s company was particularly bad.
