[quote=Anonymous]After watching this whole thing, I feel like the show runner must hate Kristin Bell.  She’s ordinarily cute and likeable but her hair looks dirty and stringy in every episode and some of her outfits are awful.  (That brown shirt with the holes in front she wears to the basketball game is wildly unflattering and it looks like they forgot to give her a bra.). And her character is really annoying and has almost no really funny lines.

Noah and his brother are, homwever, both really funny and likeable and have a lot of great lines.  It’s worth watching it just for them.  I also like the sister, and the older rabbi.

I hated the ending and I really couldn’t get past the lazy writing about his parents.  Why make them Soviet Jews?  It made no sense for the following reasons:
1) she said she went to NyC at age 6 with her grandmother.  Even assuming she was in the first wave of Jews to immigrate, and she went to nYc like a week after arrival, that would mean she was born no earlier than 1964, which would make her 60 now and she seemed much older.  But if she emigrated at age 6, she wouldn’t have an accent like that.
2) Soviet Jews generally don’t speak Yiddish.  
3) soviet women pretty much always work so when the Kb character asked the incredibly rude question about what her job was I thoroughly expected her to snap back that she was a nuclear physicist in the old country, and semi-literate KB could just take a seat with her smugness.  
4) why did she have an Israeli accent?  I guess a sensible narrative would have been her family emigrated to Israel when she was little, and then she moved to LA as an adult?  The whole thing just made no sense and I really could not understand why they felt they needed to build them any backstory, much less a backstory that was super distracting in its inconsistencies.

And PS why would anyone want to date/marry a person whose only job is to talk about their sdx life in publicly?  At least with comedians like Amy Schumer, she is almost certainly making it all up.

Anyway, the whole show felt like it was 50% really great and 50% terrible.  What a missed opportunity.[/quote]
