Justin Theroux stars as an idealist, inventor and very smart man who, along with his wife and 2 kids, are constantly on the run from the US government.

When their latest location is revealed, they set out on a quest for safe haven in Mexico. After the first episode, which takes its time setting up the situation, the rest of the series turns into a highly-involving, peril-fraught adventure. They constantly get into scrapes that seemingly have no solution, but smart papa always manages to find a way. The writers played the narrative cards close, teasing around the reason for their fugitive state. Even though some of the situations strain credibility, the performances are involving (although Theroux's continual stern demeanor gets a bit tiresome) and the journey proves highly compelling. NOTE: The novel was penned by Paul Theroux, uncle of Justin. (7 one-hour episodes in Season One with 2nd season already announced)… Expand

Ep 1: Cinematography is as slick as anything coming your way. Theroux basically continues his "The Leftover" role, aka "I'm a hot American dude lost in a Kafkaian novel". And that is fine. It's nonsensical but pretty. Better than serious andEp 1: Cinematography is as slick as anything coming your way. Theroux basically continues his "The Leftover" role, aka "I'm a hot American dude lost in a Kafkaian novel". And that is fine. It's nonsensical but pretty. Better than serious and dull, don't you think? Is it why so-called professionnal critics have a problem with it? Do they always need to be handed a cliche ridden plot like one of those sanctiminious pseudo-realistic HBO shows preaching about the "societal problems"? Or in other words, if it's not clearly pushing a "woke" agenda/doesn't have "diversity" actors, do they vote it down...just in case some shriller guy complains there is no one-eyed black transsexual in the show?… Expand

It's got an Ozark/Breaking Bad feel I like, and thus far I like everyone in it. I'm 3 in and I'm excited to see more. Justin Theroux is perfect casting as the father.
