It started out so well in the first few episodes, but Dave Franco's over-acting is a cross between Bob Newhart and Al Pacino, and it becomes overbearing and annoying. It's also quite violent in parts, gratuitously so. I see the importance of those scenes, but they went on for far too long. The Eckharte premise is fine and good for inspiring people to be here now, and there is an underlying point about not expecting people to change, we're all going to mess up at inopportune times. It's a movie about compassion, and it does that part well, especially by not trying to tie up every loose end, just like life. Bill Murray's casually brilliant insights are great. I wish the director had reigned in Franco and pushed him to deliver at least some of his lines straight, and it would've been a much better series.
