Critics

Audience

A troubled, alcoholic writer in Los Angeles tries to rebuild his relationships with his teenage daughter and her mother while wrestling with sex addiction, drug use, and a talent for disastrous choices. His pursuit of pleasure repeatedly collides with family responsibilities and lingering emotional wounds.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like dark, provocative comedies about flawed adults, messy relationships, and self-destructive choices, especially shows such as Weeds or Shameless; Not for you if explicit sex, drugs, or sexist humor are deal-breakers.
