Hmm. I watched one episode to give it a chance and not give it a hard pass just because I find the YouTube videos so insufferable. I get that's the point, blah blah, but still watching someone sing annoying on purpose is still annoying, so it's not for me. Unfortunately that extends to this show. The show as a whole is well done and I'm a fan of a lot of people involved. It's not a bad show, I'm just not on board with the character of Miranda. Some people "get it" and find it hysterical but I am not one of them. It's just too broad or something, like all I can think about watching is how much it must hurt her voice to do that nasal thing all the time or how her face has got to get tired having to hold that exaggerated sad/angry face mugging. Just seems painful. And the way she storms around, pigeon toed in her "dorky" clothes, it comes off as trying too hard to me, very much the same way Napoleon Dynamite did back in the day. Like, take it down a few. But again, people do love this and I'm very happy for the creator of the character to strike a chord with fans and find a way to connect with a large audience and score a sweet Netflix show and have it be very well produced. Its a legit show and does not feel like one of those situations of a famous YouTuber taking a step up and it seeming way out of their league. It's just not for me.
