High Hopes

I clicked thinking I would give in 5 minutes while working today - I had low expectations as I don't care for the Pawn Stars type "reality" show, I thought. Four episodes later... where did the time go? I noticed I was smiling a lot and chuckled multiple times. Again, I really didn't expect to like this at all, but the dispensary setting is novel and most of the cast is incredibly likeable.

Freddy and Uri are bros I would love to hang with. Dani and Jared seem pretty real, though they're quite different personalities than the former two. The assistant manager, Morgan?, is a familiar character in any workplace: ambitious and task oriented. The owners are even relatable and you want to see it from their side too. The only one that left almost no mark is the manager, Ronnie; he seems somewhat forgettable, but maybe he's just low key. He has a petty beef with Dani and seems quite childish about it.

I don't often write reviews, and this is my first for a show, but I wanted to share my genuine surprise at how watcha le this show is. Who knows how much is scripted? Probably quite a bit, but the interactions really drew me in. Maybe give it a shot and see if you get drawn in to this little gem like I did.
