Out of Order

I saw the commercial for this on Showtime and became intrigued so I gave it a look and thought it was great. The storyline was excellent, not to mention Kim Dickens is ridiculously hot. Eric Stoltz and Felicity Huffman charge this show along with some great movie references that help the wit.

I'II admit that the only reason I was planning to watch this show was because of Justine Bateman. But within the first 10 minutes of watching the show I really started to enjoy it. It was funny, sexy, and dramatic. I found myself, today, the day after, thinking about the show and wanting more. And I don't even like this kind of genre.

I was hooked after seeing the pilot. I was fortunate enough to see the rest of the episodes one after the other with Video On Demand (digital Cable). I found myself relating to situations even though I was never in that position before. I thought it was season 1 of a new show at first, and it's too bad that it was a miniseries. I'm sure there are many or will be many shows that describe this period of life that people have; Having children, working, dream house and around all that showing the difficulties or problems that arise. However, this miniseries was done so well, it wasn't afraid to show what really can or could happen as two people try to make it through life together.

With first season thru, I'm able to say this is one outstanding TV show. I hope there will be a second season, but the first season alone is, as a "mini series" amazingly good. Everyday relationship issues handled with extreme care; black humour mixed with ice cold tragedy without ever being pretentious or melodramatic. Excellent shot and with metafilm views to an amount never seen in american television (at least not by me).

OK, i'm biased; I adore both Eric Stoltz and William H Macy, but even if Stoltz is more of an main actor than ever before and extremely important for this show, the show in itself would be substantial without him.

This show (and its forecasted success-to-be) will probably lead to production companies that take more chances; don't under-estimate their audience, and aim on quality and meaning. Hugh amount of creds to everyone behind this project!

I saw this pilot last night on Showtime. I must say, it's refreshing to have another "real life" show back on. Eric Stoltz shines, as usual. His charm and creative acting brings life to the screen. He is real and true to his character. We feel for him. The actress that plays his wife is also wonderful. She brought reality to the "manic depressive" and takes it to the limit. I believe she wants help but just doesn't know where to start. All the characters were great! The acting was great and the storyline is very real. For people that live in the entertainment industry, knows that writing can be very stressful and puts a lot of unncessary pressure on you. But, again, I'm back to Eric Stoltz. He's brilliant as an actor and producer but even better as a Director. He carries this show and because of that, I think SHOWTIME has a hit on their hands yet again!
