Sexy Fringe Show

I think that there is a really good premise in this show but that it suffered a little in its execution. Essentially it is an improvisational romance novel split into four story elements. My issue was that they all were so disparate to each other that it never really meshed into a single show for me. I would have loved to see characters chosen at the beginning and carried through the whole story. This would have allowed more character development and recurring jokes/references. I think it would have given me something to ground myself in as we explore the multiverse of scenarios. I also enjoyed most the final segment when the guest star and host were working together on the meet cute. They were able to do more improvising and bounce off each other while taking more suggestions from the audience. I hope this show comes back as I would be very interested in seeing a version 2.0.
