    Great Show, Another Jeff Daniel's Masterpiece
    This show is very good with an actor like Jeff Daniels who knows how to play parts that deal with the unmentioned and ignored downtrodden and seemingly sad underbelly of income inequality and life's inequality for a large portion of the American people in places like this throughout this country. America is not the greatest country in the world. I Highly recommend watching this series. The other parts of the story are the icing on the cake!
