Easy

"Easy" is a Netflix show. There are three seasons, about eight episodes each, and they run about 30-40 minutes long. Easy to watch. What's it all about? I'm going to say it's about relationships. Couple relationships. Men and women; women and women. It's also about sibling relationships and parent-child relationships. Even neighborly relationships. It's more drama than comedy and every episode is different, although over the course of three seasons we get to see some of the same characters reappear. Sometimes one character will make a brief appearance in another episode. For the most part though, they are stand alone episodes. The only thing they all share is they are set in the city of Chicago.

Why did I love it so much? I found it fascinating. The dialogue was some of most authentic dialogue I have every heard in any film or TV show. I'm not sure if the actors went ad lib, but everyone in the show was so believable. Some of these episodes were about characters that are never given a voice in regular movies or film. There is an episode in season three entitled "Number One Seller" about a black man with a neck tattoo selling glow sticks and plastic swords to families in the park - I loved it. There are some many characters to love in "Easy" - you will see yourself or someone you know in all of them.

Relationships are hard, so maybe that's the joke of the title, Easy. Catch it all on Netflix.
