Think it dropped today, getting really good reviews overall.

I'm five episodes in and really digging it.

It's cool that each episode focuses on one particular character's perspective until it catches up with where the last one ended. Neat idea.

I watched this in one sitting this past weekend and really enjoyed it. I'll be curious to see where they take it (assuming renewal).

Really enjoyed it. Paul Rudd is great, and the actress playing his wife was a surprise great casting.

Would be cool to catch up with them 5 or more years from now

I kinda liked how they had many of the same-actor tropes clearly listed out and then figured out ways to put them all in.

And the soundtrack from, and built off of, Anna Meridith, was good (same composer as for Eight Grade).

Cool, I was about to look up who did the soundtrack. Definitely a fan

We watched 5 eps last night before bed after seeing this thread and really enjoyed it. This is a great show. Original, funny, great acting, but also hits home on an emotional level sometimes. So many directions they could take things over the course of several seasons if it gets renewed.

Hard not to like Paul Rudd. He does a phenomenal job. Some scenes almost simultaneously make you laugh while also tugging at your heart strings.

Watched the whole thing start to finish last night, I thought it was great. It's just impossible not to like Paul Rudd. And Aisling Bea was fantastic.

Did anyone else think that last scene was gonna turn into a threesome?

Does this have the Tom Brady Cameo in it? the one he got grief about supposedly disparaging Kraft?

He had a cameo in the first episode which coincided with how many rings he has won. I mean I guess it could be seen as bad that he is coming out of a Asian spa

Finally finished it.

Thought it was ok, I like that they tried some different things, but in the end, telling the story from different points of view meant limited plot, and they didn't utilize Rudd's comedic talents enough. And if you aren't going to do that, then make is really thought provoking and emotional, which they didn't do too much of either.
If there's a season 2 I will watch, was just hoping for more.

Paul Rudd is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs

One visit per superbowl? You think he knew how that line would be placed in the show?

Binged the whole thing today and agree with this take.

Thought it was great, and a very inventive concept that Rudd pulled off well.

Good bump. Watched the whole season on a long plane trip. Good acting, good writing, original script... hard to complain.

However, I was kind of glad when it was over, almost felt a sense of relief to it. Maybe that has something to do with the stress Rudd was able to translate to the screen. The music itself honestly sticks out as adding to the stress level.

Echo the thought that the wife was a great cast.

Good show, thoroughly enjoyed it, doesn't need a second season.

This was a good show, which goes against Netflix policy, so probably not
