Maybe time was short from casting to release, but I honestly think one more week of dialog rehearsals would have been woth it. The parents were the worst. Unbelievable that they were even married, let alone parents. On second thought, Jack Black's performance was the worst. If he was given free rein to adlib, it didn't work. He's no Robin Williams (RIP). No, wait. I was right the first time. The parents were the worst. The mom was so stiff. I've read other reviews that the ending was terrible. I didn't even make it to the end. BTW, what kind of parents drop their kids off at a Post Malone concert?

I binge watched season 1, and now catching up on season 2. So much better than Law & Order-, Criminal Minds-, or NCIS-type shows on traditional networks.

I've only watched one episode, but like what I've seen and am optimistic about the rest of the season. If you're a fan of Julianne Nicholson, she's the lead character. If you're not familiar with her work, you should be. In this series, she again plays a woman with a troubled past, a role she does extremely well.

The series in not the usual legal, police, or hospital action or drama show. There is a murder, but the focus seems to be more on the characters' lives, emotions, challenges instead of solving the crime. Don't be misled by the gay-bashing reviews. That's only one relationship, in addition to the sheriff and her doctor husband, the FBI agent, her undercover agent, and the undercover's wife, the sheriff and her deputy, ... you get the idea.

If you've enjoyed shows, as I have, like The Red Road, The Bridge, Top of the Lake, American Crime (the one with Regina King and Felicity Huffman), give this one a chance, too.
