Netflix disney and especially apple can only dream of this standard of writing...just sublime

I loved Jennifer ever since more that’s 30 years ago. She’s that kind of actress whose movies/series you chose to see just because she’s in them. I’m surprised she didn’t get bigger roles sooner. Inside out a funny and intriguing personality and actress.

Tanya is the star of the show, thanks to Jennifer!!

Jennifer Coolidge has crept into my heart over the years and now I feel I'm just blessed to enjoy her work. Season 2 was such a ride.

Aubrey Plaza and Jennifer have similar humor but different delivery I feel. And I love it

Have we seen both Haley Lu Richardson and Zoey Deutch in the same room before?

[RoryTV]

Jennifer Coolidge is very funny and entertaining a terrific actor and for me she made both seasons of this show twice as watchable, love her!

[Branjiebelle]

I would like them to do a season on a cruise ship.

I soooo wish Jennifer Coolidge was allowed to do the Bend and Snap like she did in Legally Blonde
