The show still tends to bog itself down with too many characters and stories, as well as the gimmickry of Coop’s narration intruding on what’s going on. .... The addition of Marsden is promising, though. .... We hope his presence focuses the story in a way that we didn’t see previously.

Ashe is the kind of fresh juice a second season needs, even if it ultimately leads things to a preposterously far-fetched climax. Meanwhile, a slight problem remains that over ten hours the series can dip whenever Hamm isn’t on screen. The various characters’ family dramas sometimes feel as if they’re from a different, slightly schmaltzier drama.

A good example of a decent enough comedy drama that would have been fine at one series, but because television is insatiable, the show must go on. As such, the second series throws new characters and plot lines into the same milieu and hopes that, once again, a snappy script and good acting will carry the day.

I really wanted to like this series and hoped it would improve on its adequate first season, but it just became too consistently frustrating and was an overall disappointment. It's not a major disappointment, but it's still a letdown because it's trying to be too much of everything and not enough of one thing.
