I'd classify this as a guilty pleasure as I agree with a lot of the points made in the negative reviews, but still came coming back for more, despite feeling that I shouldn't. The first few episodes were slow and not very engaging, but in my opinion improved significantly as the season progressed and by the end of season 1 left me looking forward to season 2.

I enjoy film and have broad and eclectic tastes and interests both in style and subject matter. I believe that a film with a modest budget can be very successful if the script is well written and structured, has effectively paced direction with well developed characters who are played well. Unfortunately this film has insufficient quantity of all of the characteristics mentioned above.

Having read positive reviews however and noted the reputable high quality cast, many of whom I admired, I decided to overlook the low IMDb rating and take a chance. Unfortunately the main achievement off this film has been to rekindle my faith in IMDb ratings.

It's described as a comedy. I didn't laugh and the story barely held my attention.
