Fascinating show about a singer slumming it to find herself
h-c-patel323 January 2022
This is the story about a singer songwriter who has disappeared for 6 months.

Her sibling comes looking for her when they happen to be in the area for business. She is holed up in a dingy motel trying to find her muse.

She has made one best friend and has a romance with a ridiculously handsome homeless guy living out of his car. It's a poignant little piece about trying to find oneself and doing what it takes to get out of the shadow of those that raise us.

The music was surprise and should not have been unexpected considering its about a singer. It was very well done when the culmination comes.

The characters all, sort of, learn something about their selves at the close. Whether it's the right lessons to be giving others, I will let you decide but they seem right for the characters.

The short runtime of each episode makes for a disjointed experience but that said each bit of the story is self contained so as not to appear jarring. I watched it in one sitting as if it was a single episode of a regular TV show.

I'm not sure I would have made it to the end if I had to wait for the episodes. I am however glad that I did.

It comes into its own towards the penultimate episode. Before that it is unclear where they going. I'm not sure if semi-satirical is what they were aiming for.

It does sort of resonate as being part of the 'Great Resignation' zeitgeist we are are living through although the protagonist probably didn't have a job to resign from to begin with.

In that sense it is almost has a retro vibe with a woman from the East Coast trying to make it on the West Coast. But then again, perhaps, I am being unfair.
