    It’s got charm, and it’s endearing if you’re not allergic to the schmaltz just begging to break through the surface. But, with the three main talents involved, it could have been so much more.

    The characters are complex, the tone warm and non-judgmental. It was adapted for TV by David E Kelley, creator of Ally McBeal and husband to Pfeiffer. If only the drama were as funny as the Rufi Thorpe novel on which it is based.

    While there are many interesting characters and storylines, by the time the finale episode, “Lock and Load,” comes to an end, the luster of the series dulls considerably. In the end, it feels like a cautionary tale rather than one of triumph.

    No matter the wannabe-titillating nature of its upbeat tale or its multiple strengths (sturdy performances, bright aesthetics, big heart), Apple TV’s latest is a frustratingly rigged game.
