On its own it's a fair series. It's definitely a step up from last years Midnight Club. But there were a few things I've always respected Flanagan for that he lost sight of. The scenes in the old house between Rod and the lawyer felt very Flanagan. Other present time scenes were very Ryan Murphy.
My biggest complaint is in the development of Rods character from 1979 to explain his choices. I expected more of an "aha" moment. I understand Madeline's evolution.
And last but not least- the overuse of the f word. In my family alone some of us use it more than others. A couple never use it. It was lazy dialogue writing to have them ALL using it all the time. It was distracting and made the show less enjoyable.
