Saw the listing for this, and always liked Nathan Lane as a comedic actor, but as soon as the laugh track raised its ugly head, I knew there might be trouble. They say that it is done before a live audience, but it didn't sound like that to me - At the very least, it sounded like reactions were "enhanced".
Good cast, but no real chemistry between them and jokes that elicited NO laughs from me (and another giveaway that audience reactions may be pre-recorded). I expected more from the guys who did Will & Grace.

I heard that people had problems figuring out what was happening in Season 2, so they were told to go back to Season 1 to hepl make sense of it. So I went back and re-watched Season 1 BEFORE I started Season 2. Well, that's a lot of time wasted.
Season 2 seems to have almost no connection to Season 1 except for the main characters. And even then, it makes very little sense. I couldn't be bothered to finish S2, it was just too bizarre.

I managed to struggle through the whole thing because my video player can play at 1.5 x speed, otherwise I might have given up on it after episode 1.
The plot seems to struggle between the subplots: who is killing the girls and why, where is Mickey's sister and why, what happened to Truman's career? I was confused by flashbacks that made little sense unless you were plotting a timeline for the characters: now she's a kid, now she's a teenager, now she's an adult, now she's a cop... Unfortunately, this style of non-linear storytelling seems to be in vogue now, for some strange reason.
The pacing seemed to drag many times, with a character walking down a street as music plays in the background - for the whole duration of the song! A little judicious editing would have helped. It looked to me like they had a contract for an 8-episode series, but only had a script for 4 episodes, so they had to throw in a whole lot of filler.
