After just the first episode, this was my favorite show (at the time) on t.v. Why in the world it was canceled is beyond me. Netflix, Please, Please, Please pick it up!!Would love to see where the writers were going to take the story line. I wish it were at least a full season, instead of less than 15 episodes.
... View MoreStory telling is an art form. While there are many elements, plot development is basic. Then, there is conflict and struggle, and eventually some sort of resolution, either good (makes us happy) or bad (makes us sad or unhappy). Things can get complicated, surprising, confounding, and confusing, but in the end the story must have a resolution/ending. Unfortunately, this series was canceled after the first season was in the can. Perhaps it was unwise to try to stretch this story beyond one season. The entire story begs NOT to be a soap or a serial. Exactly where do you go once the conflicts are resolved with this plot? NO WHERE. And that's the problem. Someone decided mid-stream to stretch the series into another season. That's the way it was filmed. So, with no resolution to the conflicts, where does one go after seeing the last and final episode? Nowhere. I bet many will decide the time invested in watching this show is wasted.
... View MoreThe story line is enough to want me to watch a new episode, but the show is predictable in some ways and absurd in others. The acting is marginal, except for Andrew McCarthy, who does a good job. I think that some of the writing is in place specifically to trick the viewer, but it's generally too contrived to effectively attain that goal. Several obvious solutions to problems are ignored for the sake of having the characters make the most extreme decisions.It's a nice show, but it's really helped with an actor like Andrew McCarthy who has a recognizable name. Other than that, it's an interesting idea with mediocre execution. With all that said, it's passable in terms of viewership.
... View MoreI really like this show. I can see what some people are saying though, that the episodes tend to leave you frustrated and thinking that the show is just going to leave these major holes in the plot, but if you stick around for another episode they finally give you a bombshell or another juicy bit if info. I really believe that if they get a second season they will be able to redeem themselves. It's SO much better than most of the other new crap that is out right now. Plus, one of the characters is played by the daughter of the actor who plays Cyrus in Scandal. AND Andrew McCarthy is a main character too.I think it would also have a much larger audience if it didn't have to compete with Game of Thrones which airs at the same time.
