- A delightfully addictive show
LOVED this show! Very original storyline and likeable characters. Excellent voice actors and foley effects. The comedic dialogue makes it an easy show to enjoy, while the mystery keeps me hooked. This is the first show I’ve come across that accurately depicts an Autistic person - a woman too (we are so under represented).
I can’t wait for the next season.
