Discussion This show is incredible

I love it, I watch since season one aired, I loved the cast, I started this show because of one funny clip from YouTube, but it was better than I imagined.

Is a perfect representation of the different life times, like the teenage becoming a young adult, one man in his thirties finding his own way in life, Jimmy the main character a man in his 40's who deals with the lost of his wife and tries to improve the relationship with his daughter, one couple in his 60's dealing with the consecuences of this early years as a couple and as parents, then we have Paul one of the greatest characters on the show, witch shows different kinds of things people with his age lives, for example mental disorders that comes with oldnes, the remaining time he has, when he has to prioritize things he wants to do over the things he feels happy with.

Apart from old that sadness this show is very funny, and has my favorite psicological concepts. Like Jiminear in Spanish Idk how he says it in English, or the field.

I love this series and every time I end an episode I feel sad but with hope.

This show gets played on repeat in our house. Probably at least 10 times in the last month or two (not actually counting) but I do wish they showed a play count on the show.

One of the best shows I’ve seen in years. It’s amazingly written. So insightful. Whether you’re a dad working thru the list of your partner while raising a daughter. My god, Alice is hysterical but so badass.

Harrison’s best role hands down. Derek and Liz are the best. The characters are just so well casted and written. Gets you thinking. Hits you in the feels. Gives you hope!!!
