If you're into subtle, sometimes dark humour with a twist of quirk, you'll get a kick out of this one.
I watched Season 1 & 2 back to back so its fair to say I was addicted. The episodes are short, yet packed with enough substance that you'll be left wanting more.
Dern's character is likable just not to anyone she knows. After suffering a breakdown, she returns to her life with higher hopes of - everything. Don't we all wish for a better world? What I like about Dern's character is that she has good intentions. She's just completely misunderstood by everyone around her and is dismissed as a neurotic maniac with no sense of self awareness.
She desperately wants to find a purpose in life but eventually makes 'good' with what she's got and.. its interesting enough.
The character development is well written and does a good job to explore the complexity of human relationships. There's unexpected humour and awkwardness and ultimately I felt myself rooting for Dern to 'stick it to the big guys!
Its kind of like 30 Rock had a baby with Weeds that was raised by Broad City. Highly recommended.
