I thought it was... ok. I absolutely loved the Melissa McCarthy / Bobby Cannavale romance. We don't often see MM in a role like that and I was struck again by how beautiful she really is.
I did not like the Jessica character. The constantly halting way she spoke was so, so annoying. I found Ben very irritating too and thought their storyline was underwritten/boring.
The Marconi family acting was wonderful - I was especially impressed with the actress playing Zoe. What a gut-wrenching storyline.
So, am I understanding correctly that Jessica and Ben took over Tranquillum at the end? And Masha went... where, exactly?
I gather there's a second season - is it worth watching?
I admit I didn’t finish the first season. I just wasn’t invested - though I loved the Melissa storyline, but that was pretty much it. If you liked Zoe, highly recommend you watch “Tell me lies” - a drama about college kids with a fair about of sex scenes - it’s good LOL. The actress in a real life is I believe the niece of Dick Van Patton and I agree she’s very compelling on screen.
I’m coming back for the second season because of the cast. Annie Murphy, who played Alexis on Schitt‘s Creek, Henry Golding, who I think it’s adorable. And Christine Baranski, who I love.
