• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

An insane attention to detail in otherwise mundane, day-to-day life. Makes you feel like one of the characters; Frances is both relatable and flawed. You couldn’t really love any character and you couldn’t really hate any character either, which I think is a lot like real life.
