The start of this comedy show was rather way over the top with its female main character Eliza and almost forced popculuture references everywhere. But it changed somewhere along the lines of episode 3, toning down without losing its premise when most people probably were already gone watching other shows.
It's a shame. This comedy is comparably focused on its main characters and isn't wasting time on unnecessary sideplots like the big comedy shows do nowadays to give every character a certain amount of screentime. This show focuses on the two main characters Eliza and Henry and that is good. The chemistry between those two (actors) is great and becomes better and better as the story goes on. Of course even this comedy show has the typical roles like wacky characters, flaws, "obvious" plots (main characters growing attached to each other) and doesn't reinvent the wheel. When it started I didn't have any high hopes either, thinking I am droppping it when it goes down the road it lay down in episode 1 but despite that it grew pretty much on me. It's a solid, feel good type of comedy show with a rather realistic, modern approach to it. Quality wise I'd put it somehwere near You're The Worst, although the latter is darker and more cynical in its humour. As I said, a shame that this show got cancelled so early on. It's one of those cases where a smaller network would most likely keep it running. No doubt there.
