My Review
**Disclosure**
Many thanks to Pure Flix/Sony Affirm/Momentum Influencer Network for
providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my
own.
Live+Local is a new sitcom streaming on Pure Flix. It's a show that follows
Tommy and Tina (aka TnT) as they host their morning show from 5am to 10am,
along with their new producer named Lucy (aka Producey Lucy). But with a new
program director, Jerry, things are about to change.
I did watch
episode 1 first before moving on to episode 2, which is what my review is
for. Episode 1 introduces us to Tommy, Tina, Lucy, and Jerry. Tommy and Tina
have a good camaraderie going on, with fun (and sometimes snarky) banter that makes
them easily likeable right off the bat. Lucy is a bit anxious and nervous,
and her first time on-air doesn't exactly go as planned. That makes her
relatable, because I think we've all had stage fright at one point in our
lives. And Jerry... well, Jerry is a bit...much. He gives me secondhand
embarrassment, but maybe that's just me.
In episode 2, Jerry decides to change things up for Tommy and Tina. He
agrees to let Tina host a new segment while on air, which makes Tommy
jealous (and maybe a little annoyed, too). Tina is nervous and worried
listeners won't like her segment, but she goes through with it, and
immediately, social media is bursting with praise for her. She's even
receiving phone calls at the station from listeners who want to share their
own stories. Her new segment is a hit!
Tommy, however, still seems to
be stuck in his old ways, including making Lucy fetch him coffee even though
she's no longer an intern. Will he come around to trying new things and
doing things differently? Perhaps. But only time will tell.
Both
episodes also feature guest stars. Episode 2 features John Cooper from the
band Skillet. I think this is a nice touch for the show, having actual
comedians/singers/authors as guest stars of a fictional radio show. It's fun
and makes things more interesting to watch.
I'll admit, I'm not a big
sitcom fan. I prefer dramas (especially if they evoke some serious
emotions). But I was curious to see if this show could capture my interest
and change my mind about how I view sitcoms. And I have to say, I was rather
pleasantly surprised that Live+Local didn't feel like the type of sitcom I
expected. It has humor, but it's not ridiculous or over the top like some
shows. It's a tame, toned-down sort of humor, and I found myself chuckling
along with the characters. It's also inspirational, with good messages and
heart, and by the end of each episode, you'll find yourself feeling lighter.
At least I did.
I think my favorite thing about Live+Local is the
connection between Tommy and Tina. Dave Coulier and Emily Pendergast bring
both of those characters to life and make them feel like two DJs you'd hear
on the radio while getting ready for work in the morning. They're
delightful.
I think this one is another hit for Pure Flix, and I will
be watching more episodes as they come out. So happy to have new shows to
watch and get invested in that make me smile and feel good.
