This is better than i expected. There are moments of greatness and brilliance, especially when it becames existential dramedy. There are lines that made me even think about my own life, sharp dialogue etc. It could be a masterpiece, however it's flawed.
-- Not good chemistry between Skyler Gisondo and Nina Bloomgarden, they are very far from the ideal couple representing young lovers bond.
-- Zero explanations given about what is happening at the "PASSAJE". I understand there is something poetic and Poetry is not Maths, but still, it's lazy writing.
-- Comedy element is not a success here. It should get darker or more serious, at least during the final episodes. Story was interesting, it should be deeper, there are deep meanings here that could be explored.
Still, there were many upsides. Almost every actor here does a great job, especially Milioti, Jackson- Harper and Sinclair. Characters cannot be more likeable, i loved them, it was a joy to watch these characters even when they were not doing something important. As i said, there are moments of brilliance. Time, love, family, loss, grief. Not an easy task to explore these concepts without being ridiculous. Milioti and Jackson- Harper had great chemistry, i was totally convinced anout their relationship. I think that every couple is going through what they are going through after some years. There is Truth here, even Wisdom at times.
I would like to watch a second season even though i am afraid that there is no story to be told after the ending. It was not a very good ending, there are some questions unanswered, even plot holes. But it's definitely satisfying and tries to wrap it up in a poetic way.
