One of the absolute best shows on TV. These days of adult cartoons and a plethora of shows that frankly insult the intelligence of those watching and are a gigantic waste of time this show stands out as a much needed and desired treat for the mind, eyes and ears of those of us almost starving for intelligent and highly entertaining television these days. So many of the new shows are horrably lacking in originality and depth. Some of the new shows out right now are just plain moronic. This show is fantastic.

I've never been so involved with a show like this ever before...the different cast of characters, all of the different celebrities coming in and out of the show, ones you haven't seen in a while...makes you wonder who's gonna pop up next! The shooting of Will was very emotional for me, like I knew him or something...I really had to convince myself that it was just T.V...lol! I'm focusing on new lovable characters now...leaning towards Carrie but he takes me back and forth...but I'm really liking Finn!

This has been a very empowering show for me as I am a female starting my own business. I have done a lot of my own strategic planning and site building while watching the show going after my own dreams. I adore Alicia, and love the the #girlboss. It is much more than television to me. Every episode I feel engaged in the drama and wit of the writing and acting. Thank you for creating such a great show for me to feel more empowered as a woman coming into my own potential. :)
