The show had its ups and downs through its season, but the final two episodes were game changers and made up for every little bad thing. The show is amazing and can't wait for next season.
It's so rare to find such jewel. Everything about this show is perfect. Stellar cast that superbly does the job. Not one bad apple among them. Script, dialog and narrative are finely tuned machines that deliver the exact amount of excitement needed. After watching only one episode I recommend this show to everyone because I know that it will deliver excellence throughout the entire season.
Just binged it, and it is fantastic. Superb production with great acting and captivating screenplay.
This is absolute treasure and everyone should watch it.
It has a really strange beginning of the season, but once the main story begins unrolling you get caught up in it, and its really unpredictable main story. You can't forsee where it will lead you from first few episodes. Now, on half season you begin to forgive all the weirdness that surrounds it, and it shows potential to be a great story in the end. Lots of question waiting to be answered. :)
it is funny: all of bad comments are from people that didn't even bothered to watch it.
But those who watched the whole season have nothing but praise for the show. I am one of them.
Had my prejudices, thought it will suck, but in the end I am loving this show and can't wait for more.
My Score 8.
One of weirdest movies I've watched lately. Excellent acting, Very good story, and less you know about the plot beforehand the better. Only reason I gave it a 8 is because it is rather slow paced, but still I very much enjoyed watching it.
Really bad pilot that almost got me to drop the show which would've been a mistake.
From the second episode it is like I am watching completely different show.
I recommend everyone to power through the bad pilot and give this show a second chance.
It is worth it so far...
More and more this looks like prequel to movie "Brazil".
AWESOME!!! Just watch it. You won't be disappointed. Great characters, interesting plot and good pace. Both thumbs up.
James Roland is a genius. I still can't figure out how he convinced executives to produce this terrible piece of television. It is so bad that I can't find one good thing to say about it. Stay clear of this, it won't last long anyway before it is cancelled.
edited after watching whole season:
You know those things that are so bad that they come out on the other side and feel good. This show is like this. I still think it's bad.
Sin City 2 bad. But I am glad that it had a chance to air, and I don't regret wasting my time watching it.
:) Pilot should get and Oscar for best picture since it is better than any of the movie nominees for this year...
Main character has to play new role every episode. I think Lee will have problem with even one of them... I hope I'm wrong. Even Ernie Hudson would be better choice for Ben.
Another TV show based on a movie.
OMG, THEY ARE CRAZY AS SH*T
Rather enjoyed watching it. Good acting, interesting script. I recommend to watch the movie.
Should've been called "First World Problems". A story of a man with loving wife and a well paid job complaining about everything.
Wow, talk about beating the dead horse.
This is the movie that everyone should watch. One of those diamonds in the rough.
Watchable. It reminds me of Castlevania. The whole season looks like an extended pilot. Opening music is totally off point.
Went in expecting disaster. Surprisingly caught myself laughing few times. It is not greatest comedy of all times, and it uses default factory setting for manufacturing comedy, but the material is sometimes funny, and some actors in cast have very good punchline delivery timing. The best thing I can say about this show is that it is somewhat funnier than some of the new comedies this fall.
I don't know why, although the plot is not the same, that movie looked to me like an adaptation of "The Fall of the House of Usher"... Weird...
Terrible, boring, waste of time.
Terrible. Seen reality shows better scripted than this piece of garbage
edited after episode 7:
I think that the connection to the Superman franchise is pulling the show down. If this was a generic Sci Fi show I would give it passing grade.
Much better than the movie. Two episodes in and I'm hooked.
P.S. Sadly, after whole season, I don't feel the same. Not sure why, but my hype for the show kinda fizzled out.
The feel for the whole show is a meh (5), but I gave it fair (6) score just because of hype from beginning.
Matt LeBlanc should've stick with "Pucks" since it was funnier than this show.
What the -bleep- did I just watch? It is a miracle that this show even made it to production.
I saw some "Teletubbies" episodes with better script, acting and depth.
addendum:
four episodes in, and it is still terrible.
Sadly the main premise of the show is what makes it unwatchable.
Without the animated character it's same run–of–the–mill family sitcom,
but at least we could say that it's no better or worse that the other shows.
Sadly still don't recommend this for watching.
p.s.
I usually love Jenna Elfman comedy style, but in this show she was on back-burner,
funniest moments were delivered by children.
Simply put. They tried to make a hero out of a side character. But they forgot to give her a hero's journey.
I liked it, not awards material, but not really bottom of the barrel. It's watchable.
Kinda under-developed, with more details on characters could've been rather good.
Still, with already spent major plots in season one I don't see this picking up for second season.
There are some things that bugs me with this show, and that is how they don't go bankrupt around episode 2-3, and only explanation is because the get paid well from rich clients to obscure law with jury tampering, illegal hacking for starters showing us that with enough money to throw around you can avoid prosecution. So I should cheer for them, because from time to time they take "pro bono" cases that are shown as episodes, but all other cases that are real money makers are tucked away so public can't see them....
