I had high hopes for this show based on the previews, but so far I've
been kind of disappointed. I suppose it's not fair to compare it to
"American Beauty" (same writer) or "The Sopranos"- the best tv show of
all time, whose time slot this show is in- but it can't be helped.
Sometimes it seems like it's straining to be 'different' and 'unique',
and the strain is evident. The acting is, for the most part, great. The
stand outs are the women. Frances Conroy, who was so great in the PBS
"Our Town", is the matriarch, and she holds the show together. The
daughter is great too. I look forward to watching this show grow, it's
definitely very good.
