Thought it was a decent show. Enjoyed it overall. Good show if you are struggling to find something to watch.

Damn good show IMO. Quirky, funny, sad, crazy... so surprised how much I liked it. The younger kid actors were outstanding.

Went into this one blind. Very surprised at how good this was. Well worth the watch. Also …


Today I learned that Anthony LaPaglia is Australian. Never knew.

Bumping this one because we finally got through all the episodes, and I wanted to see how it all wrapped up before I posted my opinion.

It's really solid. The young actors (really all the actors) are fantastic and compelling. My one complaint was that it got pretty mercilessly bleak for a while with just one awful thing after another going down. There would be scenes that you'd think were funny or light that would suddenly twist and go very, very dark. I think some of it is that the lighting/filtering of the whole thing was very light, almost Wes Anderson-ish even when the subject matter was really dark.

For those who don't like fairytale endings... all I can say is that we EARNED this one, because things did go so bad and so bleak at times that the audience deserved to have everything wrap up neatly at the end.

Anyway, definitely worth watching for those who haven't.
