Unbelievably bad, 1 February 2009
2/10
Author: ricobelled from United States

I've loved a lot of shows on Showtime, but this one has made me lose a lot of faith in this channel. Incredibly stupid, uninspired writing, which the good actors are not able to save. I gave it a chance; tried to watch 3 episodes, but I couldn't take it anymore; had to turn off the 3rd.

I don't know much about the disease in question, but surely it can't be anything like what's portrayed in this piece of garbage! There's just no way a family would behave this way in real life.

As someone else pointed out: the makeup of this family is so standard, almost a caricature of the typical Hollywood bunch.

Can't believe this came from the same people that bring us 'Dexter' and other great shows......

Deeply disappointed.....
