Good but could have been great!
Enjoyable dark comedy that drags its way through to its inevitable end. This is a well-made series with a good cast that has a number of moments highlighting how suspenseful and sharply funny it might have been.
I'd happily have rated it higher if the number of episodes were reduced to 8 with few changes. As it is, and as the story proceeds, the suspense fades and impatience begins to set in, and at times, the humour while probably never trying isn't particularly sharp.
It is still better than plenty of TV being made at the moment though, but it is hard not to watch it in its entirety and not think that there was a great high quality 6 episode series that has been extended to the detriment of the suspense, humour and storytelling. (I also probably could have done with one less sister as I never fully warmed to the two younger sisters).
I think the creators should have considered it job well done and moved on as I don't think it warrants a second series. Perhaps a brand new story centring around the insurance agent(s) could be fun but the sisters are best off left swimming in the sea. Don't flog a rightfully dead JP.
