    What you’re more likely to notice through the first three episodes, though, is how resolutely timid and unfunny it is, as if Lorre and his writers are scared laughless by their subject matter. It doesn’t help that his framework for interracial romance feels like a parody of an earnest 1950s social-problem play.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I guess Chuck Lorre doesnt want to be remembered for his great success show Big Bang theory... This is the opposite, bad humor a laugh track without anyone really laughing.... A phony cheesy staged dialogue that just fails on so many levels... This is not Lorre's best work. Pls cancel this... I feel bad for the cast they look like they are suffering… Full Review »
