About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, warm, sometimes quirky comedy about juggling work, marriage, and parenting; Not for you if you can’t stand constant narration or very predictable rom-com beats, like in Post Grad.
Pros: warm, clean humor; relatable working-parent stress; charming cast | Cons: predictable story beats; heavy narration; not very funny
