Viewed the first two episodes last night, and was rather intrigued. Different from most . . . fantasy/thriller/etc., etc. to which one is usually accustomed. Going into this blind without any back story or other information, I was compelled by the way the series was introduced. Although a little slow in some moments (and probably would have been more watchable without commercial interruption), it kept me wanting more and more. It does tend to suck you in.
The cast is appealing, and of course there is Sally Field who is enjoyable to watch in just about anything. Jason Segal's hands are all over it as he is the creator, and he does a fine job of portraying a lack-luster, bored, nothing-going-on-in-my-life Peter. Other notables, particularly André Benjamin's Fredwynn (yes, that's not a typo - it's Fredwynn - one word); and Eve Lindlely's hot-and-cold Simone.
I suspect one must really pay attention to what transpires, otherwise the plot could become confusing.
Looking forward to episode 3 this evening. I may revise this review after completing the entire Season 1, but in the interim, I have given an overall 7 rating.
Here's hoping!
