I really enjoyed it. It was funny and smart and satisfying. I tend to prefer full dramas to web dramas but they utilized their platform really well. Even though the episodes were short, they didn't feel like it and they managed to feel complete. This show did an excellent job telling compact stories that still together created a cohesive narrative.

These actors were nearly all completely new to me but they all did an excellent job. The characters were different from one another but their relationships were believable and felt familiar and realistic. Their growth and change was subtle but excellent.

I found myself laughing during most most episodes and I was also very impressed with the powerful lines and lessons they all contained. Each episode deals with a different issue, ranging from creepy and sexist professors and sexual harassment (#MeToo) to navigating relationship problems, and they're handled well. But it also deals with the very real issue of the culture of sexism and misogyny and the pushback against change. The show discusses fear and power and fighting back against injustice.

This webseries is both very enjoyable and also extremely relevant and important. I am very glad that there is something out there like this and I hope that it is something that will inspire and empower others.
