    Send back the cosmos and break out the crack pipes; this is industrial-strength despair.

    It’s one of those shows filled from top to bottom with unlikable characters, often caught in situations that just don’t feel genuine. And the show is working in such an emotional minefield—the impact of divorce on a family—that if the writing and performances don’t feel truthful than it just comes off mean-spirited and misanthropic.

    Frances and Robert are just irritating, and you really need more character complexity and a better actress for irritating to be funny. They deserve each other, but, alas, they don’t deserve us.

The characters are unlikeable, the writing is dreary, and frankly after 3 episodes in it is time to pull the plug on this relationship. Out of a possible 5stars, I give you none and take two more away. Awful!… Full Review »

SJP must have a strong anti-nudity clause in her contract given the number of layers she wears during the bed scenes and what mother takes kids of those ages to the bus every day? There's too much better fare for streaming than this.… Full Review »
