Wow. This show is a ride. I'm surprised I like it as much as I do. The supporting cast is amazing and strong to a one, led by the eminently watchable Billy Cruddup—he saves the show, really. Muscular support cast aside, the show is lumpy and uneven, with ludicrous, over-the-top histrionics by the two female leads that serve no real purpose. As much as Cruddup and co. buoy the production, Jennifer Aniston is nearly unwatchable. As co-lead (and co-host), Reese Witherspoon is more dull than hysterical, but her breakdowns are equally annoying, though less frequent. The supporting ensemble is too numerous to cite individually, but the show's strength lies therein. Each team member brings their own unique gravitas and wisdom without resorting to blase caricatured cliches. I have problems with the too-condensed "me too" narratives and perhaps an over-emphasis on the all-sides glimpse. But overall, I do end up caring for the team. Too bad, though, Alex Levy hadn't been taken out in the Italy car crash.
