Okay, I’m in. Laid is giving me all the good vibes, and I’m especially here for Stephanie Hsu. She’s proven she can handle humor that’s a little offbeat, so I’m expecting some solid laughs. The premise? Wild. It’s one thing to be unlucky in love, but to have your exes literally dropping off the map in the order you slept with them? Now that’s a real body count issue. It almost makes you wonder if Ruby’s “vagina curse” is more potent than she thinks—like, who knew the real danger of casual hookups could be this literal? But seriously, I’m excited to see how they balance the absurdity with actual comedy. It could be the perfect mix of hilarious awkwardness and mystery. Can’t wait to tune in!

Wait, hold up—Laid is actually a remake of an Australian sitcom that aired a couple of years ago? I can’t believe they’re bringing this one over to the U.S.! The original show had two seasons, and I watched it back when it first came out. It was definitely quirky, and I remember finding it funny, but honestly, I’m not sure if it’ll have the staying power here like it did down under. The Australian version had a pretty niche audience, so I’m curious to see if the remake will get the same kind of cult following or if it’ll end up just being a one-and-done type of deal. It’s pretty wild that they’re trying to make it a bigger hit internationally. I’d be surprised if it lasts longer than the original’s two seasons, but I guess we’ll see. I’m just kind of hoping they don’t change too much, because the Aussie version had this raw, offbeat charm that made it work. If they keep that same vibe, it might just surprise us.

I get the feeling that Stephanie Hsu might be struggling to land the roles she deserves, which is why she took matters into her own hands and decided to produce Laid herself. It’s a bit of a risky move, but it’s also pretty admirable. She’s so talented, and I’ve loved her in everything, especially in Everything Everywhere All at Once. She really shined in that film, so I’m hoping this new show gives her the success she deserves. It’s kind of frustrating when amazing actors aren’t given the opportunities they should be getting, so I hope this show works out for her and becomes a big hit. Fingers crossed Laid takes off and we get to see her in even more roles, both in front of and behind the camera!

Honestly, I can’t help but feel frustrated watching Laid—it’s great to see Stephanie Hsu in the lead, but it’s pretty noticeable that none of her exes are Asian. It’s disappointing how often Hollywood pairs Asian women with White or Black men but rarely shows them with other Asian men. This is a real issue because it sends the message that Asian men aren’t desirable, which is a stereotype that’s deeply ingrained in the media. It’s a huge problem that goes beyond just Laid. It affects real-life dating dynamics, especially for Asian American men, who often struggle to connect with women from their own community because of this kind of representation—or lack thereof. Hollywood needs to stop reinforcing this narrative and start showing more diverse, authentic relationships, including Asian men in the mix. I really hope the future of media shifts away from these outdated tropes, because Asian men deserve the same love and recognition as anyone else.

I don’t know, Laid sounds a little too far-fetched for me. I get that it's supposed to be darkly comedic, but a show about a woman whose exes are dying in the order she slept with them? It’s one thing for comedy to be quirky, but this just feels like it’s pushing the boundaries of believability. Stephanie Hsu is talented, but I’m not convinced this show will be the one for me. There’s a fine line between edgy humor and just being over the top, and I’m worried it might lean too much into the latter. I’ll probably give it an episode, but I don’t know how long I’ll stick with it.
