I enjoyed this series because it was mild-mannered and more adult than many rom-coms. People behaved within normal limits, which was a really nice change from the all-too-frequent stomping, hollering, obsessing, and borderline stalking. No one was particularly stupid (I abhor dingbat female roles) and friends were normal people. The parents were like actual parents (not weirdo screamers or schemers or utterly lacking in adult qualities, for the most part), the development of several relationships was quite believable and nice. Just nice. It was relaxing and pleasant to watch, and I recommend it if you are fed up with drama queens and stereotypes.
