Does anyone else watch this? I remember watching the pilot a couple of years ago and thinking it was alright, okay, half decent... then I was all kinds of bored last night so watched a few episodes on Netflix. It's brilliant!
It's just such a smart and refreshingly different show - it all but does away with traditional sitcom tropes, it casts normal looking people in near enough every role (it's nice to finally see a sitcom where not every character looks like a model), it's funny, and heartfelt, and there's a point to it all.
An episode I watched last night tactfully addressed the usage of the word "faggot" in comedy and its etymology. The episode before that looked at the percieved line between right-wing politics and inherent racism. It's a smart enough show to explore themes like that without passing judgement or dictating to the viewer what to think about them.
The first two seasons are on (US) Netflix now, so if y'all ain't seen it, you should rectify that, yo
