It's not perfect, but having seen many of the actors in other shows, especially Carlos (Flash) and Mae (Parenthood, Good Girls), they are doing a great job. There is something compelling about Carlos as an actor. Seeing Mae in a role that she gets to be happy in is a nice change from her snarky roles in the past. Impressive musical range from both of them. The comedy and irony is very funny, with some seriousness and romance thrown in. The main "real" characters seem complicated enough and the weird inner voices are hilarious while illustrating what is happening with the characters. I will say that I just watched the fourth episode and the last musical number was almost too much. The back and forth of the characters could get tedious if it goes on too long.
