Bump (2019)
Engrossing wbte
I wasn't expecting much from this show. It's an Australian drama in the commercial TV mould that's (on the surface) very young adult: two genres that are often hit and miss at best. But with a quiet weekend and advertising all over the country, I decided to give Bump a shot.
...and I think it all works together well here. What a pleasant surprise! This show has a solid cast, engrossing and mostly-believable story, and manages to lay the drama on thick without taking itself too seriously. I've nearly finished the first season (8 episodes in a day), and wish it had another season already.
Close Enough (2020)
Watchable but not really laugh out loud funny
I expected some great things from the premise of this show (Millenials Trying To Adult, basically) but it didn't really deliver.
It might have done well on Adult Swim? Like so many sitcoms on that network, it touches on a lot of very funny ideas then delivers them in a very unfunny and forced way.
Based on that, you'll probably know if you'll like it or not 🤷♂️
