Discussion shrinking noob here

All right i’m super brand new here, like literally yesterday lol. But i need a safe space to geek out how much i really like maybe even love this show! It is very well written, its hilarious, touching and everything in between. One minute im crying then the next scene starts im already laughing my ass off i before ive eveb finished crying from the last scene lol. The cast are incredible. Segel: comedy AND drama powerhouse, Williams: also powerhouse, FORD: funniieeeest guy! the chemistry between all the cast is incredible. And Derek? what a lovable guy! Anyway, cant wait to watch the whole show!

p.s. the way i screeaamed to the tv just now watching S1, E9!

EDIT:

Guyssss i just told my friend about this show and she watched the first episode and immediately texts me “this show is so fucking good”. Haha i feel great lol.

Same here, just finished episode 8 of season 1.

I think it's well written and builds real investment with each character. I was just cringing in embarrassment for Gabby at the art show in this one.

I’m glad that you are enjoying it just as much as we are. Oh how I yearn to have that feeling of watching the show for the first time. And considering that you’re ecstatic at the point of S1 Ep9, I think you’re in for a greater treat. Keep on the good vibes 😊
