Ignore the poor reviews. This is clever comedy with some substance to it. I'm pretty confident the main reason for people giving 1's and 2's are men who don't like a woman explaining science and basic psychology to them. If a man wrote and starred in this I'm sure it would've done much better.

It's wacky, silly irreverent fun but with a bit of depth to it. Sure it's got Pascoe being herself but it's more than that. She hits on ideals, tradition and what it is to be human and what society expects of women. Not much on TV tries to deal with any of this - it's good to see.

It also shows Pascoe looking inward at herself and realising the ideals and expectations she has of others are particularly flawed. She accepts she is wrong about some things and wants to learn. She's not perfect but neither is anyone else. And sometimes the majority of people can value the wrong things but never realise it.

Really not sure why so many bitter, strange people have been so volatile in their negative reviews. It's hardly offensive or controversial unless you think a show which tackles modern ideals about sex, gender, marriage, love, loneliness, family and depression to be exactly that.
