My cousins are about 5-7 years older than me and when we were kids, they used to always watch a bunch of 70s shows that aired regularly as reruns in the 90s. A few of those shows were Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley and Three’s Company. I can’t say I loved watching any of those shows but I still have nostalgia and fond memories when I think of them.

I think it depends too much on audiences likely knowing the source material, it also feel very rushed. The main trio is supposed to give “found family” vibes but it feels totally unearned. I don’t get why the one character was so antagonistic to the main girl in the beginning and coming to the end they start to throw in hints of a romance which also seem unearned. I usually like Netflix’s YA adaptations but this one just wasn’t for me.

They weren't nominated for anything at the Director's Guild Awards, Producer's Guild Awards, Screen Actor's Guild Awards, or the Writer's Guild Awards....which seems to indicate that the industry is not too fond of the show. Being nominated for the Golden Globe Awards and Critic's Choice Awards could be seen as more of a reflection of media hype and "thanks for the ratings" more than anything else.

So it's a bit of a stretch to assume they are going to nominate multiple actors in every category, including ones who have not gotten any other nominations.
