andrew t If you an American, it might be tolerable, but from the UK, it definitely works best with the sound off. The fact that every single sentence is punctuated multiple times by 'like' is literally unbearable! Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very well done... But there's just too much to watch out there and I bailed after 1 episode. Just felt a little too slow paced for me... Plus I'm definitely not in the demo.
