Don't take it too seriously
16 October 2020
Very progressive, so if you find yourself leaning more conservative, be mindful of which episodes you watch. If you're a covid denier, anti-masker, marriage, struggle to empathize with people who have different life experiences than you, or hate BLM this is definitely not the show for you. If you can put your personal beliefs aside for a few hours, it's a solid watch. Hell, it's not like there's much left to watch 6 months into our quarantining.

Boy do they navigate it all, nothing seems off limits. The episode on the husband trying to navigate raising his son alone while his wife quarantines in a separate part of the house was pretty heartbreaking. I really feel for the families that are/were trying to navigate this level of fear and uncertainty. In many cases, the series makes light of some very dark experiences, so if you're not ready to do that, probably pass it by.

I'm pretty impressed with the acting all things considered. While not every vignette feels professionally acted, it's still impressive to see how they managed to navigate the scenes where they're most likely talking to only a camera. The children definitely steal every scene they're in and often bring lightness into their vignettes.

Overall, I found the show to be often laugh out loud funny as it put on screen the real conflicts we're navigating as a country. From navigating parenting, quarantining, boredom, addiction, and death. As my quarantine has been pretty uneventful, it's given me a lot of perspective on what others might be going through.
