This first episode sets up the story and the themes it will be dealing with quite nicely! A bit fast paced maybe, but I'm sure the rest of the episodes will add more depth to all of the characters.

I'm fond of this characters

Okay, that was me trying to be lowkey about the immense LOVE I have for every one of the characters and the actors.
Chemistry's off the charts, gold comedy moments and those baseball skills... I have decided to stan for ever.
Second binge watch and counting, completely enamoured with this show!!!

I'm not a MRA. I'm neither white nor straight. So don't dismiss my review as "trolling". I'm intrigued by the show. I LOVED the movie, but I think the show doesn't know what it aims to be. The tone is off. By trying to be inclusive (ticking the boxes), they also fail by presenting caricatures and I find that unintentionally disrespectful. What would have really happened to a black woman throwing tantrums all around during that period of time? What would have happened to an openly gay man saying out loud the "quirky" line of "definitely not interested in women"? Also, by presenting a caricature of a macho rich man saying things like "Look at those calves!", they are also dismissing the perversiveness of everyday interactions and their sexism. I do hope it gets better. We'll see.
Fun Opening!

I don't get the negative reviews - this was a fantastic opening episode! The costumes are gorgeous, each character stood out without feeling like they got too much screen time. The tone was well-set!
This episode felt like an homage to the original film, while leaving room for it to branch off in its own direction. Which is the best-case-scenario! An identical remake would have been boring. And honestly, an episode that was just full of baseball would have been boring (I could watch a real baseball game if that's what I wanted haha).
So nice, truly a relief, to actually see female characters on screen with few or no men. Way to pass the Bechdel test, folks!

Worst start ever, but

Warning: Spoilers
First 2 minutes.
OK. So the lady's chasing the train. It actually stops at the station where she catches up to it. She then has a chat to some people and then unbelievably the train leaves the station so she has to chase it again.
It does get better but whoever thought this ridiculous scenario was a good way to start a series really need to have a good look at themselves.

I was expecting more, especially in the first episode, where was the baseball?
I know we the audience are being set up to know the characters, but it didn't do me any good.
I want to like this, so I won't give up on it in one episode.
