    Neither funny nor gripping, intriguing nor moving. ... The result is a surprisingly boring fever dream with glossy production values. If this is the future of television, pass me the bottle.

Second hurrays for the team of Sam Richardson and Ben Schwartz, the amateur sleuths putting together their own investigation aside from officers Tiffany Haddish and John Early.

The Ike Barinholtz action movie parody has an actual pissing contest and is filmed in widescreen in the neon lit style of F & F, and of course it's about family.
