I love Bill Hader! I was so impressed to actually see Helen Mirren introduce this series as though it was a real quality documentary series and not "mockumentaries." If you've ever seen "Grey Gardens," you haven't seen strange. But you can look for info on that. This program does a great job of making the original program even funnier (the original was more sad). Bill Hader plays the daughter and the other guy is the mother in a previously rich family, not fallen into poverty and nuttiness (as in the real story of the relatives of Jackie Kennedy). I almost fell on the floor laughing when Hader shows up with sweatpants on his head. He's sweet, funny, and sad at the same time. To me the ending is what brought the entire show down. It was a shocker! There were a few missed opportunities to make it funnier. Oh well, I still love Bill Hader.
