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.

This was a very sweet show with a good performances all around. I think it is interesting that it presents itself as a show about environmentalism when I was more moved by the prevalent ageism from the main characters son. Frankly I think it could have lost the rat character all together. I also found it a bit long and think it might stand to be cut down to a tight 30 minutes.

I loved this show so much. As someone who regularly interacts with the unhoused community in Vancouver, the themes and conversations were very accurate. I think everyone should see this to realize how easily we dehumanize people and how it is our responsibility to treat everyone with respect and kindness. Please see this show and tell all your friends to see it!
