Strangely enough, I think I only laughed out loud once or twice throughout the entire series.
But man, I was hooked!
It must have been the innocence of Pete's character. He isn't exactly Forrest Gump, but his inexperience and constantly being out of his league made everything feel new and exciting, and it really pulled me into the story.
Through all the ups and the downs, I never really knew if he was gonna win or be defeated.
The dialog and acting were all so natural and candid, I always felt like I was really there.
Plus, the nice, short episodes made this one easy show for me to consume.
