By the second episode, I was skeptical, and by the end, I was just ready for it to be over. While I found the lead actress, who played Kat Donovan, to be quite good, along with her mother and the group of friends, I couldn't buy into the dynamics of any of the relationships. Everyone, literally everyone, either lied to Kat or misrepresented themselves. A detective who can't tell her friends are lying? And when everything unravels, the anger and disappointment don't even reach a boiling point? I'm not sure if this kind of "understanding" is typical across the pond, but here in the US, feelings would've been hurt in a big, ugly way. On the upside, the cinematography was stunning.
I appreciated that it wasn't a traditional stand-up comedy show-he blended impersonations, music, and footage from past projects, which I found refreshing and creative. I also understand and respect his gratitude for a second chance at life. However, I didn't care for the frequent use of the N-word, excessive profanity, and how talk about God was mixed in with it. I believe he could express the same messages without the profanity and the N-word. That said, I loved seeing his daughters as part of the show, and it was clear how genuinely thankful he is for his journey and the opportunity to live For Life.
