The pilot was last night. I missed the first 10 minutes due to the kid's homework crisis after dance class ran late.
I loved the visual quality of the show and how the city in itself is a character. For me, it was reminiscent of You've Got Mail and my inner thought was, "Who knew Jeff was a closet romantic?!" A pleasant surprise.
I sort of yearned for Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in the leads, though, working the same exact script. I think Annaleigh has the potential to do the role justice. But Jake McDorman sort of seemed uncomfortable in the role. He needs to better navigate the rom-com terrain between-a-hole and lovable a-hole. I'd recommend they both re-watch every Ryan-Hanks rom-com ever made to find that charisma factor.
The supporting cast is great. Really liked the sister, Chloe. Scene reminded me of some chats with my brother about girls he dated.
Anyone else see it?
