Wow this was great. Idk what I was expecting but this was even better. Daisy Mae Cooper is a great writer, this was nothing like 'This Country' but just as good, full of twists and turns. The editing was superb and really elevated the storytelling. Funny and gripping, I binged it all in an evening, a great blend of comedy and thriller. The story progressed at the perfect pace, without feeling too over the top or unnatural. Kid was amazing, his comedic performance felt very mature and he had great chemistry with Daisy, they literally felt like a real mother and son. Similarly was the realationship between the female leads.
In my opinion the best US comedy I've seen. The characters are terrible human beings, they do horrible things and treat others like crap. But it makes for a hilarious show, with crazy episode plots, and well crafted jokes (among a few classic poo and wee ones). Danny Devito is ridiculously funny, with crude words and disgusting behaviour, he is a masterpiece.
Being a huge British TV crime thriller fan, I thourghly enjoyed this show, it was intense, gripping and a performance from Anna Friel that is enjoyable, however amoral she maybe. But I do think that there are some issues, mainly in leaving some of the questions posed in series 1&2 unanswered, there were several occasions in which there was no explanation or there wasn't enough evidence to show how they came to the conclusions. Definitely worth a watch tho.
