but it came together for me in ep. 3
It is certainly not a cookie cutter production and the unique characters did keep me engaged.
I was curious why the Obama's company co-produced it but towards the end it really did have something to say.

I love the memories of B and Bs that it's bringing back.

Quirky? Great. Quirky is my middle name.

TBH, I would watch anything the Obamas produced, just out of curiosity.

Here is a list of their productions and a few paragraphs about their objectives for Higher Ground:

Higher Ground delivers intentional and impactful entertainment that fosters empathy, understanding, and social change.

The company spans various genres and themes, showcasing a commitment to a broad and inclusive range of stories.

Higher Ground's productions, including documentaries and children's shows, are accessible on Netflix and offer diverse and informative content for all audiences.

I grew up in a little Irish town so this will be fun. In addition, I enjoy films when the female lead has a bad attitude.

I'm laughing at how often the main characters have to walk, which is just one little quirky thing about this show.

They seem to leave it open for renewal.

Hope you love it!

I thoroughly enjoyed bingeing it and it's my current recommendation to people I know. It's a lot like the second season of The Tourist in that it depends heavily on Irish people keeping secrets, resulting in violence.

Anyone who liked Bodkin should like Epitath. I meant Obituary.
