This show is bold,quirky and has genuinely enjoyable songs and jokes at times. But what makes me detached from this show and makes me unable to give it a higher rating is the awfulness of the actual characters.
Rachel Bloom is a fantastic actress, extremely likable but her character is nothing short of horrid at times. She is selfish, ridiculous and even her best moments are motivated by stupid reasons. Her 'love interest' Josh, played by Vincent Fernandez III, is lacking in both charisma and acting skills and their chemistry is basically non-existent. The actor that plays Greg, Santino Fontana is the best out of the bunch by a long shot (other than Ms.Bloom).
The shenanigans played by the main character and her friend are worthy of a restraining order and not in a cute sense. They're adults and it just does not transcend as likable in any sense.
With better character development this show could be really special, but currently the mental plot holes and bad acting just make it less than mediocre.
