What in the world were the creators thinking? Was there some sort of battle between the writer and director? How many major themes can reasonably be crammed into a limited series without the viewer thinking, 'A swing and a miss.'? So many unbelievable writing and story contrivances, the strong acting by Jeff Daniels, Diane Lane, and Lucy Liu (who was always dressed to kill) was grossly diminished.
I try to avoid spoilers, however, when a 60-year-old sociopath attacks a rattlesnake barehanded, acquires a bionic knee and walks, literally walks, ('I don't do wheelchairs'.) out of the hospital the day after a total knee replacement, and when Jeff Daniels' character suddenly imitates Peter Sellers' -mind of its own hand- to murder the sudden lover of his ex-wife of 20 years, I reached my limit.
Racial and social injustices? Throw the amputated storylines into the mix, then wave a magic wand to end the story lines when the final bell begins to ring.
The only nice-touch, micro-moment for me was the video call between the broke banker-nerd and the now-wealthy mother of his love child, he had to use his ASUS while she glammed out with a top line Apple. I was that desperate.
