It's also very unpredictable. I have no clue what is going to happen in a given episode. I also can't figure out what really happened to the married couple.


I've only watched the first four or five episodes. My theory is -- THEORY NOT A SPOILER -- that the husband caught the wife cheating on him and beat the crap out of her, and the other man shot and killed the husband.

I thought this was unrealistic. Saturday evening mass fulfills the Sun requirement but is often just as packed as early Sunday morning.


Depends on your parish. Some Saturday masses draw less than 25% of parishioners.

Thanks for the response, pp. It didn't make sense to me but I know little about this demographic group.

Very good. Wrenchingly sad at times. Infuriating at others.

I didn't watch but the first 10 minutes, but wow. Really good acting. After Scandal, which was oddly emotional for me this week, I wasn't up to watching any sad or violent.

I like it but I've resolved to have TV be a non-stressful experience for the next year so not watching further.

Yes, and so far I like it, although making me sad already

I read a review in the NYT yesterday or today. It sounds compelling.

It looked interesting but I totally forgot about it. Would love to hear what people thought.

I watched but got distracted by some housework. I plan to rewatch. What I did see was really well acted and its one of those shows where there is going to be something interesting/unexpected from all the characters. No one is all good or bad. Nice seeing treat williams and felicty huffman together too.
