Mini-review:
I had high expectations for this due to the cast and creative team, and while it's certainly not perfect, it did not disappoint. I really love its dark sense of humor, although it does get a tad too dark in certain jokes. The main character may not be the most likable person, but Stephanie Hsu's endless charisma and comedic timing make her supremely watchable. The rest of the cast is more than up to the task, too. The most confounding thing for me is the show's puzzling message; sometimes it feels like it's slut-shaming the main character, while at other points it exalts sexual freedom. Anyway, I definitely enjoyed Laid enough to want a second season, especially after that cliffhanger.
