These is truly one the greatest sitcoms in my book. The characters are great. I especially loved Louie, Jim and Latka. They are very strong characters which you can easily get invested in or enjoy watching. The writing is also good, filled with morals and lessons. It's hard to find good writing like this these days. Louie's character in particular is a very interesting and complicated character with many facets. Actually, almost every character is like this. There's nothing simple like a good guy / bad guy. It's truly written with human nature in mind and that not everyone is perfect. The theme song also really sticks with you.

I am Thai and I went through that time with my eyes glued to news channels and reports. Knowing the outcome doesn't effect the experience much at all. That's how good they made this movie. All the details, the sacrifices, the volunteering and the effort portrayed in this movie was just superb. Ron Howard's Apollo 13 comes to mind. We all knew the outcome but damn were we still on the edge of our seats.

First episode already promises a lot of layers to the series. Jon Bernthal is very charismatic with his character and you want to take his side although you can't really tell which direction his character is going. The episode did throw a couple of jabs towards a certain political party. I wish it didn't do that. It felt like it wasn't relevant to the story.

Update: This is like The (Woke) Wire.
