I binged this yesterday. I really liked it. Although I really enjoyed Nadia, I most identified with Alan. My heart really went out to him.
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion! :)
Yeah, I really dug the contrast of the two characters. When the show first started, after the first episode, I was thinking, "I dunno if I can handle watching this show if I'm not really liking the main character," but then I realized that was kind of the point of 'early' Nadia: deeply flawed! When we get to the last episode or two, and the Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
Real tribute to the brilliant writing, how quickly that character believably/organically evolved!
I know what you mean about Alan; I think he was a more 'tragic' character intentionally: like the ying to Nadia's yang. He seemed like the sweet, innocent, naive one while Nadia was the hard-partying no-fu@#$-to-give type (with my sense of humor!). It's like both of them had a piece of what the other wanted/needed (Alan to be more relaxed and a little more care-free; Nadia to be more empathetic/appreciative of what she has in her life).
Ahhh; I can talk about this show all day (stupid having-to-work/teach-HS-kids thing :P )
