I'm a sucker for the whole Groundhog Day routine —and for redheads —, so I had to watch this. I was disappointed by both. The characters are annoyingly pretentious, Nadia is too much of a dick to be likeable and, worst of all, it isn't even slightly funny.
But now I have to watch the whole thing because I really want to know what will happen to Oatmeal. FML

(But not everything was meh, at least they ended the episode with one of my favourite Light Asylum songs.)

@misnomer the stairs scene/s in the next episode were quite hilarious.

@waltandmartha actually, I found that "gag" to be very repetitive and dull. They've extended it beyond the point of being funny, ending up in not being funny, at all. It should have been shorter for its comedic effect to be truly effective. But it's cool that you enjoyed it, you'll probably love the whole show.

@misnomer I hope so. I struggled with episode one. But the stairs bit made me laugh out loud when I was watching on a crowded train, I thought the timing was perfect and gag was spot on. Her line about trying to get down the stairs was the bit that made me lol. Not so much the “physical” comedy.

@waltandmartha I hope this is not a spoiler, but I really disliked the first and last episodes of this first season. It started like crap and ended in the same way. I actually had quite a few laughs with the rest, though. For me, it did get better as the season went on, she gets into hilarious situations as the loop continues to, hum, loop. If you enjoyed the stairs gag, there'll be plenty more to leave you in tears, I'm sure.
I see this show as a sandwich made of two rotten slices of bread holding a juicy and tasty chunk of meat in between.
Enjoy the ride!

@misnomer The series soundtrack is pretty damn awesome.
