    This could have been the greatest comedy ever and the response here would be the same.

    I think it’s ok so far and I just stumbled on it.

    I do not understand how she still gets so much press. It was on news bulletins all day today that this show is starting tonight.
    The adspace devoted to this for the last month must have cost a fortune, it was driving me insane watching that promo over and over and over again.

    She’s trying too hard to be like Jane from The IT Crowd, and failing.

    This is... not good. On the upside I saw the new McDonnells Curry ad during the break and I actually laughed out loud. Which is more than i can say for this muddled crap.

    Agree, didn't really know anything about it either. Not the worst thing I ever saw.

    No thought it was excellent as well. Very funny. In fairness what ever you think about her you'd have to agree she's very talented

    Its not awful, its just pretty meh. The tone is all over the place. Most of the characters are one dimensional ciphers and Hubermans character is just too odd and too sad to be relatable. It could improve...

    I hope so. She's very likeable and a good actor. I just didn't find it very funny or original.

    No matter how bad or good it is the Huberman worshiping Indo will declare it "a triumph" and to prove it will post gushing tweets from the likes of Tara Flynn.

    Like others I was sick to death of the constant promos, slots on LLS and radio promoting the show. I watched and probably won't watch it again. A poor man's Bridget Jones with added farting/dog crap/urine.
    I'm hoping Women on the Verge is a much better offering.

    I like Amy as a person and on her instagram.
    The show however, was pretty ****e.
    Low brow, obvious boring rehashed jokes - plot wasn't very good.
    If you look at twitter however, she's a comic "genius" - there are people who either have really bad taste in comedy and TV in general or celebs and members of the public alike are pure lickholes who will love whatever someone puts out regardless.
    Not trying to sound begrudging but it was below average. And I'm an Amy fan.

    Happened to watch this as it was on after the news and had heard it advertised.

    Was far from amazing but also far from terrible; the reaction on twitter etc will probably suggest that it must have fallen into own of those two camps.

    Had some good/funny moments and some not so good and it would be easy to pick faults in it but think it managed to establish itself and the central character, in particular, pretty well which is, i'd say, probably the most difficult and most important thing for the first episode of a sitcom to do.

    Amy Huberman definitely has talent as a comic actress and going by this obviously has some talent as a writer.

    Thought it had some promise; wouldn't be going out of my way to insure I catch the next episode, not a big sitcom watcher anyway, but would definitely watch again if I happen to find myself in front of it.

    Absolutely woeful, profanity for the sake of it and farting jokes? Pure nonsense.
