What's the Story?
MAGGIE (Rebecca Rittenhouse) is a psychic who lives with her parents and avoids romantic relationships because she always knows precisely how they'll end. One night, she sees herself in the future of the man she's reading, so she reluctantly allows herself to fall for him a little before quickly breaking it off. But when he moves into the apartment next door, she realizes her romantic life is about to get very complicated.
Is It Any Good?
This show's basic premise, a psychic who avoids her own emotional life, has the potential to be both fun and philosophical. Maggie makes viewers ponder: How would knowing that something will end badly change your approach to it? The throwback romcom feels a little out of place in the streaming era, but there's a lot of good stuff here, including a short run time where the writers pack a lot of sharp comic banter and plot development into sitcom-length episodes; a sprawling, deep cast of characters; and a light, playful tone that never takes Maggie's sci-fi powers too seriously or lets them dominate the action.
