The squared circle gets fabulous

One of the most unusual starts to a series I've ever seen, yet also a great deal of fun. The little touches in set design and soundtrack choices go a long way in setting up this fantasy world of marginalized actresses who're just waiting to kick ass. Not to mention the writing; there were some winning one-liners here. Alison Brie is a capable lead (I think it's the hair), but Marc Maron provides the fun of an incorrigible sleaze that really leaves me wanting more.

It's funny, dramatic and moves with ease. I had real fun with this.
