I ended up enjoying it while remaining wholly unconvinced that Janet and Seamus belong together. Tune in if you’re a sucker for a warped vibe.

It’s their interplay and the two actors’ natural charisma that draw us in. The writing is as nimble and spirited as the leads — not a shock since the screenplay is by playwright David Ireland (“Cyprus Avenue”), who ditches the schmaltz in favor of tart, edgy interplay.

It’s a rollercoaster ride into disaster early on, as honesty takes a backseat to jokes that only half-land and an exploration of subject matter that might’ve been better suited for a traditional drama. .... [Janet is] merely a crass Irish stereotype, but at least she's more endearing than Seamus, whom I spent most of the series wanting to shove into a wall just to see what kind of obnoxious sound he’d make.
