With a great blend of comedic quips and strong themes around questioning authority, Nobody’s Looking is an enjoyable, well written comedy that immediately brings you into this after-life based world. It begins with an expository-heavy opening episode that explains what’s happening. Ulisses is a brand new angel – the first in hundreds of years in fact – and after being inducted into his new role, sets to work in helping various humans on Earth avoid certain doom and disaster. Teaming up with his trusted comrades Greta and Chun, Uli immediately starts to question everything around him, challenging the established hierarchical rules and convincing his fellows to follow suit. Standing in their way however is supervisor Fred, who watches Uli’s every move suspiciously and eventually stamps his authority late in the season. There are a few other unresolved plot threads too, including the future state of Miriam and Uli’s relationship and the Angeli operation itself. The series is a solid offering nonetheless with some surprisingly robust world-building. The first episode does so well to reinforce the rules and ideas of this angel-centric story and has the foresight from there to allow the characters to take over the show, playing on and breaking these rules in hilarious fashion. If you’re in the mood for a light comedy with some clever writing and decent world-building this show is definitely worth a watch. It’s funny, well-paced and features a lovable central cast of characters easy to root for. This show is certainly an incredibly easy show to binge through.

It’s amazing, stream it!
