New viewer. Great show! One NYer’s complaint.
I just binged the show in one week and I found it very well-written, very funny, and very well-acted. There’s just one thing that is driving me nuts…
The Kew Gardens E/F subway stop they’re presenting as the group’s local subway stop is not local to Bayside…at all. I grew up in Bayside, Queens. I live in Astoria, Queens. I have lived in this borough for (almost) my entire life.
There is no universe where that stop is your local, walkable stop. That stop is local to Kew Gardens and Forest Hills. The only way you’d walk to that stop is if you wanted to have a day where your activity for that day is WALKING.
There is no direct subway stop servicing Bayside. The closest one is the 7 at Flushing Main Street and to get to Bayside would still be, a walk, but it would be more believable. For public transit in Bayside, you need a bus or the Long Island Railroad.
Samir’s family having a car makes sense!
(I know the show shoots in Canada anyway BUT ISN’T THIS TYPE OF COMPLAINT WHAT REDDIT IS FOR?!)
Anyway, great show. So excited for the second season!!!!
