This is the story of a family, relationships, the lies we tell ourselves and each other. Dark yet warming, the pilot takes its time introducing its characters, revealing their deeply held flaws. Though the writing is naturalistic and a joy, the acting is what reveals the full possibilities of this wonderful series. Jeffery Tambor is a revelation, and his acting here merits Emmy consideration. Add to that the acting of Gabby Hoffman and Jay Duplass as the conflicted son and you have a sparkling main cast. I cannot recommend this pilot enough, and I urge you to watch it, enjoy it, and if you love it, tell Amazon as much. I eagerly await a continuation of this Families story.
