I stumbled on this, watched the little opening clip that seemed intriguing and fired it up, not expecting that I would watch more than 5 minutes. Turned out it was a really fun, very well written and well acted movie. All to often with streaming movies I end up pausing and looking to see "how much longer" but not this time.

The basic storyline (out of work young woman falls into a job and does ridiculously well) has been done over and over, but the movie manages to make it fresh and funny, with some unexpected twists and turns. Definitely some "laugh out loud" moments.

All of characters are spot on and the laughs don't feel forced. It does get raunchy in spots but even if you think you might be offended, I highly recommend firing it up... you may find yourself laughing.

The show started out pretty well. But by somewhere in season 3 it just got ridiculously predictable. Just imagine the most crisis-inducing thing that can happen, and poof, it's there. I predicted at least two "plot twists" that I'm sure were supposed to be major surprises, just based on "what's the worst thing that can happen right now?". Whether it's an illness, an accident, a shooting, someone showing up at the worst time, or whatever, it's drama drama drama drama, regardless of whether it makes sense or not.

I understand that this is literally a "drama" but it seems like the writers are continually taking the easy way out. I suppose when season 5 comes out we'll watch, mostly because I'm pretty sure I know an upcoming plot "twist". But I'll watch mostly for the laughs.
