Bob Odenkirk as a liberal arts college professor made this an automatic must-check-it-out series - for me.

And then there are other top-talents such as Mireille Enos, Diedrich Bader and Kyle MacLachlan that push the talent to the top for a series of this budget-level.

But, there was another actor, Olivia Scott Welch (as the daughter), which I just had to check out to see if she was going to be able to produce like I thought she might have the talent to reach... and she is probably going to get there in the first season. In the initial episodes I had the feeling that Olivia Scott Welch was being pushed to hit her first-take mark and produce - just like the other top experienced actors probably were and it was not good enough - in my opinion. Perhaps the producers had budget targets that had to be met until it was clearer if the series was going to be good enough for additional investment. Regardless, in the final scene of episode 7 everything came together... acting, writing, directing, etc... and Olivia Scott Welch produced the best acting I have seen from her.

I hope this series gets a couple of more seasons - because it could be a very, very good as all the parts start to come together.

Thoroughly enjoying this. It's serious drama as only comedy will allow, to protect it from melodrama. What could you expect from Bob Odenkirk? Great cast to boot.

This might be my favorite novel, written by Pulitzer winner Richard Russo... and now a TV show starring Bob Odenkirk?! I'm still early, but the adaptation seems spot-on, funny and sharp. So worthwhile.
