Finally watched the pilot (4 years late)

I do have to say that this was missed opportunity for amazon prime. The storyline was really good and I'm disappointed that it was never picked up for a full season while it had so much potential. I wish they can redo this series by reworking the script a bit and recasting.

Charming and funny

I found this show to be very cute and funny. The characters were charming and I want to know more! It's a show for the whole family, reminiscent of other family comedies but totally unique and quirky. The actors did a great job, though totally unique characters they were believable and compelling. The cinematography was really well done. I do hope they make a full season!

Strange and not for kids

While I liked the color, LA suburb culture and photographic work, this is a bit strange for kids and way too slow. There's really not a lot going on which is why there is a lot of running in slow-mo. It's like watching paint dry. On the positive side, it kind of reminds me of the movie Paris Texas. Like the mom character, but the lead boy's character is just a little odd. Can't see it gaining a big following.

Very reminiscent of early Pete and Pete

All in all I really liked this new take on the classic storytelling style that Will Mcrobb used on my all time favorites Pete and Pete. It's a fresh take and filled with the same quirky characters were used to. Really brought back all those wonderous childhood memories. As usual the music is great and simple guitar stuff. Definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of his previous shows.

Lovably quirky and engaging tween dramedy

Found this story line to be a refreshing and unexpected journey into the life of a young boy, Mayo. I viewed this pilot 3 times as I wanted to make sure it was OK for my son,(12 years), which it is and then I watched it with him and then we were telling my mom (80 years) about it and she wanted to see it and loved it. Great to find something we all liked and can watch together. With each viewing the story did not diminish, it grew. Don't know if this was based on the writer's real life, but the story and the actor portraying Mayo really bring to life the wonder, curiosity, pure love and sarcasm that only a tween boy can exude. My vote is to take this further, there are plenty of pearls to work with.
