Season 2
This is so goofy and cheesy, I think even more so than the first season. Barrymore and Olyphant have great chemistry, and even their over-the-top interactions play well off each other. The dialogue is so wink-wink aware of how silly it is that it is almost break the third wall blatant. And yet they play it straight, which gives the show a lot of charm. Balance this with the daughter (played by Liv Hewson), cynical and sarcastic as they come, and the neighbor kid (Skyler Gisando) who is so geeky, aware of his geek, and still going for it with the girl in the most unaware geek way possible. Just the parents, or just the kids don't work. But put the family together and the balance is spot on. And at 10 episodes, 30 minutes each, you don't even have time to get tired of it. Just want more.
4 stars (out of 5)
