I am really shocked by so many bad reviews. It almost seems everyone either love's it or hate's it. I am firmly in the former camp. Tom Payne and Martin Sheen are brilliant actors. The woman who plays the Mother is very adequate. The daughter, a white bread spoiled brat from the word go has even shown some decent acting chops. And Lou Diamond Phillips? Please. But without great writers, directors and editors these actors would be wasting their time and they certainly are not. This show is delightfully wicked, full of dry humor, sometimes campy, quirky characters, great plots and truly gruesome moments at times. I urge you to ignore the haters, and if you haven't watched it, you should watch from the first season (this is the second) On Demand if possible. It is definitely in my top five shows to never miss.

I love this show. It doesn't hurt that I am both a Kidman and Grant fan. It keeps me wondering, and being on the 4th episode I fully believe Donald Sutherland is the culprit. Got rid of two problems he hated. Grant's girlfriend Emma and making sure the son-in-law he hates gets blamed for it. Just a theory that is almost certainly wrong lol. Anyway, not much worth watching lately, this one definitely is. Kidman is giving an Emmy winning performance, that's for sure. Give it a shot!

My soon to be 85 year old Mom is 1500 miles away so we stay connected in some interesting ways. For instance, we each get to pick a TV show the other has to watch every new season, so we can talk about it. My Mom always picks The Voice for me to watch but since that's over her replacement was this show. I thought oh Mom you know I hate fluff and cute little shows like this. I was so wrong. The story line seemed unbelievable, until I saw how it happened. The premise seemed ridiculous until I began to like Noa and her assistant. But Daniel is the kicker. He brings a fresh feeling to an old story. His part, and reactions to Noa's world, are much deeper than I expected. The family casting is perfect and the side stories are very interesting. The Cuban music is fantastic. Give it a shot, I only do network TV for my Mom, but this one is worth your time.
