While opinions seems to vary greatly, I like the show and find the cast well balanced. Shatner, at 79 has great timing and his relationship with Henry is something we can relate to as our parents age.
The dad's advice is mostly right but he offers it with such a bitter pill that it is too hard to swallow. Who doesn't have a relative that is probably right in their wisdom but you just can't stand hearing the sound of their voice for one more minute.
For the distracters I will agree that the new character responsible for taking care of Shatner pulls the show down and I am hoping they write of his character quickly (nothing against the actor, it just doesn't fit with the mood - 2 is company, 3 is a crowd).
I hope the show gets a full session and I will definitely be tuning in for the long haul.
