"Please Like Me"

This article says the main character of this web-television series is adorably awkward and at least temporarily gay.

I haven't watched the first episode, which is on YT for free:

I won't get to see the rest of the series because I don't have a fast internet connection. If anyone does see it, tell us about it!

No one has looked at it yet?

 

Would a trailer be better? Only 59 seconds.

"do you prefer big spoon or little spoon?".....that was sorta funny.....

 

based on the preview, it seems pretty savvy and modern...in a British sort of way....thanks for posting, FOS

If you have any experience with Australian accents you will love this series. I watched the first two seasons and enjoyed them greatly. There is also some eye candy down the road.

 

I find Josh every bit as unsettling as Lena Dunham. Can't say that I like either and I find it really bizarre that both have their own shows, but I have to confess that they somehow work.

 

I am curious to hear whether you like it or not.

oops....I called this British in my post above.....it's Australian....don't know how much of an insult that is (to one or the other!)

"do you prefer big spoon or little spoon?".....that was sorta funny.....

 

 

That was the one thing I didn't understand. I'm guessing "little" means being the "spoonee" (inside?) and "big" means "spooner" (outside?).

 

Am I right?

Are you a top or a bottom?

well, yeah, despite Juan's suggestion, I thought it meant which way were they going to spoon....

Me, too.

 

Is the "little spoon" person the one being cuddled? Or the opposite?

yes, big spoon's front faces little spoon's back

An interview with the star/writer.

Search for “super-hot” on the page to read his hilarious quote about what it's been like when dating someone who's really good-looking.

 

And then jump to the end of the interview to hear how he responds to the interviewer asking "So what's next for you?"
