Four episodes in and I'm thoroughly hooked. There are so many great characters in this that every one of them could run off on their own and build their own colony (I think they call that a spin-off series). I love how everyone had a lot more to them than meets the eye. Just when you think you've run into a stereotype or a cliché, that person surprises you with an original take on what you had already mapped out in your head.
At the end of E4 Eva makes a joke about how she doesn't know how to swim. I won't spoil it except to say it was a great joke. However, overall, there aren't nearly enough good jokes in this series about a comedian.
I love the thirty minute episodes as opposed to the sometimes lumbering forty-five minutes of most dramas which take a lot of commitment for a show you may not even like all that much.
What really makes the series, especially the comedy, are all of the people filling the supporting roles. Her agent, Jimmy, and his absurdly incompetent assistant, Kayla, are hilarious together. Everyone is highly likeable, even Marty who is sort of in the role of the villain.
