I Feel Bad (2018)
5/10
Imperfect would have been a better name

Warning: Spoilers
'I feel bad' title is too limited and communicates negativity. Life has its hiccups, 'Imperfect' would have been a better fit as we try to be our best but no matter how much we try, stuff happens. I feel it would have opened up more opportunities for creative writing and character development. As for the show, I only watched the pilot, unfortunately, I didn't discover anything new. The jokes and plot have been played out.. Yes we know the dancing is too sexy for a kid, but it would have been interesting to discover why the kid wanted to dance that way.. Maybe that's not funny but it's interesting. She's trying to be her perfect self, what she understands as beautiful, while the family wants to look like their perfect self, horrified/embarrassed about their daughter/grand daughter dancing. that's life.. Finally, it's bi-national family, Grand parents from India, that should be apparent in its writing.. The cultural nuances would naturally add humor, and it could (should) be done without playing into the stereotypes..
