About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, feel-good comedy about starting over, workplace drama, and community spirit; Not for you if you dislike broad humor, clichés, or low-stakes conflict like in Morning Glory.
Pros: feel-good empowerment vibe; lively salon banter; charming lead performance | Cons: predictable, formula plot; uneven laughs; some cheesy accents
