"Whats the matter with you, b*tch?"
Its a question Jane's best friend asks her at one point in the series and I happen to strongly agree with this question. Her character sure is.. interesting. Incredibly naive, like she was just born yesterday kind of naive. But that's ok, you expect some personal growth from characters as the series progresses, which she does, slightly..A "slice of life" kind of series with GL, that unfortunately lacked a lot of story in my opinion, I didn't mind that it was chill with only a hint of drama, I still felt it needed something more going on. There are plot elements that should have explored more to give the story substance.
I felt there was aspects of the story that should have been introduced earlier on instead of the "filler" elements that somewhat plagued a decent % of the series earlier on, which was an odd choice in my opinion for a series so short. Thankfully the last half does improve somewhat. Not to say it doesn't have its moments, the phone-call scene is hilarious. But good individual scenes sadly doesn't make up for the show as a whole.
The two leads are good together on screen, its cute and sweet, whilst majority of the other stories and scenes with the other characters were severely lacking in my opinion, overall it has some highs, a lot of "skip" moments and in the end that makes it just a somewhat enjoyable, but slightly tedious series to watch. I'd recommend it if you enjoy a mostly-no drama "slice of life" series, with an air-headed lead, some humerus moments here and there, that has GL sprinkled throughout.
I think a lot of the problems I had with the show, could have been solved with more episodes to evolve the story as it goes on (the ending feels a bit rushed as well) and if they had injected some better story elements into the first half.
