I really enjoyed both the characters and the story. There are so many relatable moments pertaining to both bisexuality and life in general. I loved the roommate and his challenges. I think the main topic is figuring out what you want and like and how stressful it can feel realizing you don't really know who you are or what it is you're supposed to do. It's like you can't actually hear yourself and you need to connect with yourself and figure it out which can be very painful and lonely.

“I’m a shit daughter and I’m selfish as fuck
And thank god, because I have no resentments and no regrets and I’m happy”

This was a really solid little mini series. It takes a really honest look at what it’s like ti be bisexual. You’re not straight but, to some people, not gay enough either. Desiree Akhavan did a really great job playing the lead. She has a similar energy to Zazie Beetz. There’s not a ton of genuine bisexual representation out there so seeing this was great. Had a fun time with this nice little show. Definitely give this a watch.
