This is a amazing show and I would recommend it to any teenagers/college kids or anyone who just has good humor. It's a very funny comedy with many serious actions in how to make a business. Very impressed!

Great show for millennials exiting college and those young and hungry adults in the workforce. 'Sometimes when you know what you really want, you just have to go for it, none of us have the answers and know how the future will pan out' may as well take control and give it a shot to halt any regrets. 'F' the Man.
