As I watched the first episode - the only one I’ll be watching - I couldn’t help but ask: who is this for? Who wanted a father/son comedy centered on healing from grief starring a real father and son? Rob Lowe is basically playing himself except more wacky and his son John Owen Lowe is playing… mostly the flute I guess. The half hour runtime felt eternal because everywhere there was a “joke” (note the scare quotes) there was almost a pause for laughter that never comes. There’s no studio audience and I sure as heck was laughing. And, it’s not just that it’s not funny- which it’s not, to be clear- but the dialogue is thick with endless joke-shaped bits that go nowhere and almost call attention to how much you’re NOT laughing. Boring and weird.
