This Show Dies Without Andrew McCarthy
10 May 2016
The story line is enough to want me to watch a new episode, but the show is predictable in some ways and absurd in others. The acting is marginal, except for Andrew McCarthy, who does a good job. I think that some of the writing is in place specifically to trick the viewer, but it's generally too contrived to effectively attain that goal. Several obvious solutions to problems are ignored for the sake of having the characters make the most extreme decisions.

It's a nice show, but it's really helped with an actor like Andrew McCarthy who has a recognizable name. Other than that, it's an interesting idea with mediocre execution. With all that said, it's passable in terms of viewership.
