Lead male actor is strange- his accent doesn't match the rest of his family. And I can barely understand the lead female- her Philadelphia accent is terrible. But the story is entertaining so I'm keeping with it to see where it goes.


I'm a few episodes in and it's pretty good. The accent thing is annoying.

We started last night. I don't understand who hard it would have been to make his dad have a bit more of an accent to cover up for the lead's accent. I hate to be a stickler on stuff like this, but it's definitely bizarre.

I was really hoping it would be more like a Carl Hiaasen novel, but it's kind of tame so far by "florida" standards.

The dumb kid boss is a little fun. I suppose that's influenced by Get Shorty or Barry.

Not sure where they are going with Agent Coulson so far.

I’m not usually into skinny blondes but the lead has that Jamie Presley trashy feel in a good way.

She's the hooker who loses her bag of coke in Office Christmas Party.

Only got through E1 last night, but glad to see she's not afraid to free the nips.

Watched first two episodes. Writing/story is good. Lead actor is not. I’ll finish the show as there is only 7 episodes total. I

Started watching this today. Seems decent so far. The ex-wife is a smokeshow.

So is the other chick.

I feel like I started this thread and am going to be the last one to finish it.

Im sick today and my wife told me she would beat me if I did anything other than sleep and watch TV or read so I finally got to knocking out all but the last episode.

It’s not amazing but I like the dark comedy of it all. There were a lot of loose ends (Greg Clark, needy Newslady, hapless sheriff, etc.) they started bringing together in this episode. Definitely a bunch of “oh ****!” in that episode.

I’m ok with a darker ending but holding out hope for a little bit of happiness for a few people. Deacon doesn’t deserve any bad vibes.

I will say an underrated part of it is Greg Clark continuing to have to break the law, being really bad at it, and having to apologize. I’d probably be the same way if I were on the lam.

Moss reminds me of what it would've been like if Hedwig, Kevin's 10 year-old persona in Split, was a real person and had grown up in a mob family.

Finished. Not as dark as I thought it would be.

For the mediocrity of the series as a whole, I thought the final line from Delly was a good ending.

A smile and “bit of both.” would have been ok, even though you knew that was the answer.

Finished it. It was fine. Writing was good. I think Agent Coulston took the dumb cop part so he could direct the last two episodes. It could have been a better show with a good lead actor and replacing whom ever played Delly. They both sucked
