The Real Review

People are really into this new dramedy from Sharon Horgan, who's widely praised for her writing and performance as a middle-aged woman navigating sex, eldercare, and a deadbeat son. The humor is a huge standout, landing brilliantly to balance the story's emotional weight. That said, the character of Alex herself frustrates a lot of viewers, and some felt the season's pacing dragged, especially leading to a disappointing finale. It’s the sharp, relatable comedy mixed with Horgan’s specific voice that makes it a worthwhile, if occasionally bumpy, watch.
