    Smart and Funny!

    How to Die Alone is an absolute gem of a show-brilliantly smart, funny, and truly inspiring. From the very first episode, I was hooked. Natasha Rothwell delivers an incredible performance, bringing humor and heart to a story that feels fresh, relatable, and real. The writing is sharp, the characters unforgettable, and the blend of comedy and insightful storytelling is rare. It's one of those shows that makes you laugh, think, and feel all at once. If you're lost, dating, confused, whatever. It's worth a watch. I loved every minute and hope it gets many more seasons. It deserves a much bigger audience!

    Heartbreakingly funny

    I can't comment on the whole series but this show has the potential to be something special. I'm not a black straight woman in New York, I'm a gay guy in the U. K. That being said this show taps into something we all feel. The lead actress is exceptional. I don't remember seeing her in anything else but she owns this role. She's a genuine talent and I really don't say that often. I can the characters pain and the humour she's using to work through it. Introducing the characters as airport workers is very clever. We've all interacted with airport workers, we've all had people who by doing their jobs have made or ruined our day. This story, whilst showing us how this black single woman in New York, who feels alone despite being around hundreds of people everyday, feels, it taps into a human experience I can relate to. I can't wait to watch more.

    LOVE This show

    This is one of the better sit coms of 2024! In my top 5. The cast is incredible! I enjoy the humor, acting, self- depricating writing/humor, the imaganative story telling and incredible characters. Highly reccomend!

    Great for binge watching! So nice to watch something so fun and that really looks at the challanges of just being alive in such a humerous and loving way. Love the diversity of all the diffrent characters.

    This show is compelling, funny and makes for happy veiwing.

    Great for cozy fall watching.

    Says my review is not long enough. So blah blah, blah, blah and blah and more blah. Okay, blah.
    Cerebraliberation

    Poignant as heck, give this the viewing it deserves.

    This show is a reminder to stop selling yourself short and to surround yourself with people that lift you up. The main character is kind of the underdog/anti-hero that reminds me of Phoebe Wallers Bridge meets Pam from the Office. It's funny, dark, and keeps you engaged. SO REFRESHING TO SEE NEW FACES, OMG. I am so sick of seeing the same 25 actors recycled from TV show to TV show.

    I seriously cannot believe this got canceled when some serious lame, 1+1=2 shows got second and third seasons. Hollywood really has no taste these days.

    Anyways, I recommend this show if you like explorations on relatable characters in heightened situations. Reminiscent of UK shows like Stath Lets Flats, The Other One, and Chewing Gum.

    There is a serious cliffhanger at the end. Hopefully this gets a redemption story and a smart network will pick this up for a second season so I can find out what happens next.

    Very Interesting Storyline

    Natasha Rothwell's character shows a true depiction of many people who feel such lonely emotion. Surprisingly she looks like a woman I know who once worked as a flight attendant about 15 years ago and today is doing very well as a manager - and, unlike Rothwell's character, she has had a long-term steady boyfriend. Ironically, I can't help but imagine my friend when I see Ms. Rothwell. But the sadness and humor of this series' premier episode is very emotional and Ms. Rothwell really makes the viewer feel her sorrow and frustration. Unfortunately I have not experienced such dire feelings, but this show certainly makes me want to follow the character's development. Altogether it's a very interesting storyline.
