The cast also plays their role very well. Kristen Bell portrays Anna as a dizzily deadpan woman. Anna doesn’t care about the strange things going on or anything. Brenda Koo is the sarcastic neighbour, Tom Riley plays the character of Neil, the handsome neighbour who moved in recently with his daughter. Carol seems to be always in the right place and the right time when Anna makes any mistake.

As far as the characters, the comedic moments and the parodic story goes, we know the 8 episodes long series will be a knee slapper.
