    The ongoing theme is a simple one. Anything that can go wrong, does go wrong. It's one giant cluster f***.

    Still, the acting is good, and I watched every episode, hoping it would get better, but it never did. Hard to believe they were able to stretch this story out to ten episodes. After watching all of them, I feel like I've been duped as much as the main four main characters in Mad    The ongoing theme is a simple one. Anything that can go wrong, does go wrong.

    I'm guessing they'll find a way to stretch out the shenanigans for another season.    … Expand

    This series has a good cast and an interesting concept. I mildly enjoyed the pilot episode. But here's the thing, this is an idea best served by a two-hour movie, not a 10-hour series that might get another 10 hours, and another after that. After two episodes, I feel like I'm good and don't need to see any more.

    Mad Dogs, in other words, is trying something that's really complicated and ambitious and failing as often as it's succeeding. But in my book, you get at least a few points for effort. It might not be great television, but at least it's not content to do the same thing everybody else is.

    It doesn’t really work out well enough as a concoction, unfortunately, as characters continuously choose one bad option after another, further complicating their already troubling situation and thus creating more pandemonium.

    It’s frustrating to watch these four men fumble every opportunity to straighten out the mess they descend ever deeper into.... But it’s worth giving Mad Dogs a chance to prove itself to the end of season one. If the action ramps up and the bickering dies down, these dogs could have a few more miles in them.
