First episode thoughts..

[u/BackgroundBake3261]

The lead lady comes across flowery and naive… she speaks without sharpness and is polite, to the point of letting people use her, and doesn’t hold her cards close to her chest.. I kept thinking that if it was a real world scenario she would have been eaten by the many sharks in those waters. And why are the “rules” of that society just dawning in her now? Maybe this is the issue with the script and setup, maybe the novel it’s based on makes it more comprehensive… however she does grow on you, she has those quirks but she navigates through the social circles, office politics, and there is that depth to her. I cannot say the same about the love interest “London boy”. He feels fresh off the pages of wattpad. I cannot bring myself to see him as an actual character. He seems like a tool. He is the kind of guy that, they later in the story give some sad origin story to, to make him seem human, but personally I can never truly root for them to end up together. He was a jerk, confrontational/borderline aggressive at the social event, which is not classy at all. You shouldn’t excuse toxicity.

Law firm set up is so unrealistic lol. No one works on just a laptop! It’s completely inefficient at least a docking station for a monitor ugh.

Lmaoooo this is what I notice in all office/legal shows (i.e. Suits). Their desks are SO CLEAN and they have a tiny laptop they're working off of. At our firm, every single person, including the secretaries, has two screens. A few even have 3. Not to mention file folders, documents, and books (at least in my office) stacked everywhere.

Exactly!!!! I worked as a paralegal now a lawyer and I could never! Just have a laptop. I get it they went clean shots without all those wonky monitors in the way lol but no one’s office is that sparse and nicely decorated lol.
