"Michelle Buteau absolutely killed it!! This show is so funny and inclusive and makes your heart smile. It’s such an easy watch and will definitely be one of my comfort shows, even if Netflix doesn’t renew it. "

"Cute, episodes were kinda too short in plot felt rushed but I’m happy she got her own shower I loved her in First Wives Club"

"This series was just okay. Mavis annoyed me most of the time. I tried to like it but it bored me most of the time. The character was annoying most of the time. I tried to give it a chance. It just wasn't fun to watch. "

"Ok Ladies if you haven't experienced Michelle Buteau let me tell you about her....she is the best imaginary friend you'll ever meet. Supportive, funny and always dressed to impress. And that basically sums up her in this own show. It's quick witted, has an amazing cast, and doesn't take itself too seriously. This show is FUN and a love letter to big girls. "
