Has there been a thread (or threads) devoted to this series? If so, could someone link me to it (them)? And if not, let’s have a discussion. As I may have mentioned, my daughter has decided to marry Aaron Tveit. Since it seems certain that Ben Platt will be attending the wedding, I told her to ask him for the Ben Platt-carved-wood-curio cabinet\* from the title sequence as a wedding present (and then she’d give it to me). \*[This one.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cpDge3lGec) ---

Currently enjoying it. But it’s been bugging me that the main character is a cross between Rick Moranis and someone. Either David Schwimmer or Jeff Goldblum. ---

Make that Rick Moranis and Fred Armisan. And it really took a turn in episode 8.
