I watched the first 2 episodes and I am fully enjoying it. Nice to have an intellectual drama, albeit lifted from real life people. Fabulicious cast. They say it's a limited run on USA but I'm not sure what that exactly means. Try it, you'll like it. Well I hope so. I'm recommending. |

I googled it and they are billing this as "season 1" with 6 episodes. The fact that they call it a season means to me they have left the door open if it does well to bring it back. I saw Sigorney Weaver on The Daily Show and she made me wanna watch - though she made it sound like cable is the only place that has serialized dramas. I'm sure she meant you can have more freedom on cable vs. network, but she came across as rather out of touch with TV. 3 minutes in and gotta say, not impressed, but gonna give it a shot as Tuesdays are dull nights for TV. I do enjoy the mother - who's that actress? She is familar to me and does bawdy boozy well. |

It's Ellen Burstyn - another oscar winner. I'm enjoying it and think the acting is great. I watch all the TV drama fillers - Dallas, Rizzoli, White Collar etc |

Mr Disco and i watched this (we had it on DVR) over the weekend and we really enjoyed it. However I googled it and it seems that USA network has decided not to pick it up for a second season. :( I wish another network would, it had great acting and an engaging plotline. |

Really? I know Ciaran Hinds from all the Brit movies I watch. He is an awesome actor, even if I can't pronounce his name. Your daughter is a lucky, lucky (talented) little girl. |

So funny - I can't wait to meet him - don't care about meeting Scarlet but still excited. He's such a super actor. So few people know him over here. HE's wonderful. |

That's why I was so excited for this show, Ciaran Hinds,Sigourney Weaver, Ellyn B. , really good acting, good writing and timely. (Insert disgusted sigh because they didn't pick up season 2). I do. not. like. ScarJo. I hope she isn't a diva and is nice to your daughter. |

So far so good. She pats her on the head. Don't think she's a diva. We shall see. |
