Things Episode 1, "The One" of Weird City did
Futuristic sci-fi world, but still grounded in what seem like just advancements of current tech
Weird fashion but like, believable as future trends not every One wearing the same bland metallic shit
"We're not gay" *Narrator voice* they were wrong
Intergenerational couple that isn't treated as fucked up or wrong by society/family
No shaming of either arranged marriage or people choosing their own path
Adorable mlm couple with great actors that feel natural together
Mutual pining/angst but only for a minute to make everything better in the end
Subverting and affirming different soulmates tropes
Dealing with adult children still having issues about their widowed parents dating in a funny way
Rejecting lavish life, soulmates dictated by science, etc to live freely with the person you love even if you have less.
Chose to have their first episode, the thing everyone is going to judge whether they want to watch more, be about an intergenerational mlm couple.
