Patricia Heaton (Carol Kenney) and Patrick Fabian (Dr. Lewis) are currently the glue holding this new, fragile series together with many less-experienced actors and what appears to be a lack of direction until more recent episodes (EP11+).
Some difficulties are clear by obvious cues and interjections that are likely to be ironed out as fellow actors become increasingly comfortable in their roles.
While the show needs work, unlike some ridiculous and seriously worthless reviews after having watched just 1-2 episodes, the series is thankfully still uncovering its canvass and beginning to come together. The vague direction and single-star in Heaton's character starts to share the stage with her fellow actors as the ensemble cast begins to shine in their own roles.
While many aspects of this series are plagued by a politically-correct range of race and sexuality - much like "The Conners" - this is the result of our era; this political bowel movement we have found ourselves in and such negative comments aimed towards the legitimacy of the series should be ignored, rather than spoil entertainment.
Accept Carol's Second Act at face value and allow it to mature. After all, M*A*S*H was slated to be canceled in its first season first season by hastey critics. Don't stomp out potential before it has a chance - this one is just clearing its throat.
