Amazing
I love how the show is presented and how the interviews are broken into parts to help tell the story of how the show was made. I’ve learnt so many incredible and interesting facts about the show which has given me a whole new level of respect and appreciation for all the hard work that was put into this incredible show as well as film and television in general.
The history lesson the fans all needed
It’s fascinating to learn about how shows came to be, especially sitcoms. I love hearing from the cast and the directors, producers and show runners who made it happen!
