It has a very relaxed-paced and is character/setting-driven. It is incredibly charming if you give it a chance. I decided I liked it about episode 3, but really fell in love with it by episode 5. I really enjoyed its laid back vibe, quietly angst-ridden characters, and the Venice/southern California setting. Personally, it was refreshing to not be bombarded by slick, wise- cracking main characters or overly insecure nerdy types so popular these days. Thanks for that, writers! The setting is also a big part of the show. I felt like I was there in Venice with the characters. The show does a good job of creating the sense of "being there" which is incredibly enjoyable. The great indie-type music used in the scene transitions is a bonus.
