This show is a smart, deep dive into the anxiety of a man, and it's honestly the best way I've seen anxiety depicted in a TV show, but it's unfortunately betrayed by two things. First is its format: a weekly show which starts out absolutely depressing? You'd think "would want to watch this?" I personally found it hard to continue after the first three episodes. Second is its marketing: I've seen trailers that imply the show is a feel-good comedy, when that's the furthest thing from the truth. No wonder so many people dropped it within the first half, unfortunately causing them to miss Josh's ultimate development in the second half. This show would've had some real potential if it weren't for those two points, and it's understandable why it was canceled. Expect this to be a satisfying slow burn (very much in the vein of anything out of A24), and it's certainly best watched all at once rather than spaced out, treating it as one long film or two, getting you past the utterly depressing parts in the first few episodes. The latter episodes are where the show really shines, including what could possibly be the best depiction of the 2020 lockdowns I've seen in recent media, and [spoiler]a finale that literally goes out with a bang.[/spoiler] The performances of Levitt, Castro, and the rest of the ensemble are stunning. Frankly, it's not for everyone (and I don't think it was ever meant to appeal to everyone; what was Apple TV+ thinking?), but if any of the above appeals to you, it's definitely worth watching.

It’s hard to wrap my thoughts about this show into a tight little bow because it was kind of all over the place. But I can say that it was masterful in bringing forth emotions from real everyday life. The last three episodes, which took place during 2020 pandemic, so accurately captured the fear and uncertainty of that time that I forgot for a moment that I wasn’t actually in lockdown in my house. I can’t foresee a Season 2, which it sounds like there won’t be one, but I think it’s worth watching – even if just for it’s weirdness and rawness. Oh, and it feels like this show was Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s demon dog. He wrote, directed, and starred in the show and wrote and performed the music. Pretty cool.

Couldn't get past the first 15 minutes. Everything about the show was annoying.

Well I didn't like it. First episode was berable watchable, second was the longest 29m, felt like 2h. Maybe some people will like this.

Where are the jokes? Not a single trace of comedy and not an engaging conflict or anything regarding the protagonist to hold onto in case you want to take it more on the drama side. Depressively unlikeable, couldn't even finish the first episode. Felt like Gordon-Levitt is so full of himself only he alone could enjoy his... struggle?
