    Some internal conflicts arise, but even those turn repetitive within the first two hours, and the stagnant plot is only magnified by individual character inconsistencies.

    83 on metacritic! This show fails at creating emotion. This is Us or the latest Jim Carrey show at least managed this. The dialogues utterly83 on metacritic! This show fails at creating emotion. This is Us or the latest Jim Carrey show at least managed this. The dialogues utterly kill this show
    The show is so overwritten that all these verbose exchanges between characters make us think that they are acting like robots, repeating the cliched lines that one expects from someone that is confronted by the grief of someone else's family and not one own's.

    Second gripe: Actors. Terrible ham-fisted acting. Olsen is totally miscast and entirely unbelievable as a grieving widow (trying so hard to feel detached, collected for someone who has been a party girl all her life - completely out of character).

    Third: All the surroundings are a collection of clichés for the #Metoo crowd (that is the clear customer group targeted by this show), i.e. black husband, adopted Asian sister, single mom running a yoga studio, it's just missing a leading lesbian latino character for good PC measure.
    The flashback scenes with the dead husband are excruciating: There is obviously zero chemistry between the two. Friends maybe? Love, give me a break!    … Full Review »
