Good idea, and cast... but so contrived.
The story, the acting, are good, but the writing is soo lazy. Very disappointing.
It's watchable... but maybe not the whole long thing.
A smart man manages a difficult situation very poorly, again and again, and again. Like in a bad horror movie, just to make the story "work" -- it does not. That "technique" produces junk.
They want us to like him... but make the other characters teat him very poorly, for no real reason -- so we identify with him as a poor victim?.
Some aspects of the story are good, realistic in ways most other stories are not... but the abundant BS makes discussing it not worth the time.
What a waste of talented cast.
