Finally the show is leaving NY! London will be such a fresh setting. And with the British comedy legends joining, the humor is going to be top-notch. Can't wait for the Indian release on JioHotstar!
Honestly, the lineup is amazing. But I'm a little worried about the show jumping the shark. The charm was always the New York apartment building. Hope they keep the spirit of the trio intact. Still excited to see Capaldi though!
Peter Capaldi is a legend. Between The Thick of It and Doctor Who, he's proven his range. This cast is like a who's who of British acting royalty. Meryl Streep last season, now this? OMITB is spoiling us!
Selena Gomez and the boys going international! This is going to be a visual treat. I am just glad we get it on JioHotstar without any delay. The last season's SAG award was well deserved.
As an Indian viewer, I love how OTT platforms are bringing these global shows to us so quickly. Peter Capaldi's character is a mystery, but I hope he plays a shady British landlord! 😂 That would be perfect.
