Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times The series should make a star of Natasha Rothwell, playing the likable but deeply flawed driver of a luggage cart. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times A genial series, full of people being sweet. It’s more inspirational than not. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com It’s in these creative production details that Rothwell’s imagination syncs splendidly with her acting talent. Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Ty'Kira Smalls Common Sense Media This series explores death and life through a comedic, raw lens. Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Terrell Smith What To Watch To say Rothwell is fantastic as the lead Mel is a disservice to the actress. She's lightyears beyond the word. Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Belen Edwards Mashable As juicy as Mel's romantic endeavors can be, it's her quest for personal happiness — whether that involves a man or not — that proves the most rewarding.
