PrimeWire

I really wanted to like this. As a Brit, I chortled my way through Miranda which at the time was in a class of its own and greatly loved.

I feel that the format and tropes needed radical changing not just to suit the US culture, but because Miranda aired in 2009 and the ideas are no longer fresh.

I agree that the essence of the character: a single cat loving woman in late 30s who is socially awkward with a gorgon of a mother and a quirky business with quirky pals and some slapstick, could have worked well as a traditional sitcom.

This needs stripping back of its meta moments and I’m sorry that I wasn’t even able to finish the pilot, not least as I adore Mayam and appreciate her being given a starring role.
