This is an Apple exclusive show, but it feels like a throwaway Friday night "comedy" for ABC or a channel with the word "Family" in it. Literally every line feels like it's a scripted "punch line" that's missing its canned laugh track.
The premise has some promise, but the characters are flat, and the acting is wooden and sterile. Everything feels artificial, even the (genuinely) outdoor shots, and there's zero chemistry between the lead and her "best friend," who mostly serves as a servile dupe. Some of the dialogue thinks its being "brave" but it's all extremely trite and unoriginal. Lastly, the protagonist of this show, a girl who survived cancer, seems to be more focused on being a self-righteous a---hole rather than learning gratitude or doing some introspection.
About the only positive thing I can say about this show is that the studio lighting is nice and bright, and all the actors' clothing is clean and in good condition.
