I want to like the show, but not quite there yet.
Sofia Black-D'Elia is great in this role, although the shifting voices was a tad odd. But she perfectly plays a modern female comedy character and anyone who has battled addiction of any kind has been in the kind of place that she is in.
There are some jokes that work, some others that don't, but I think a light-hearted version of a very serious issue is the kind of thing that television should be about. A show that makes you think and feel, but at the end of the day is a comedy.
I'll stick with it, but I think there's a lot more potential than we saw here.
