Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

3 things. 1 – Language is over the top. There are places where a character will sit and repeat the F word 4, 5, 6 times in a row. No other dialogue. No other interaction, just sit and repeat over and over. Really? No one talks like that. 2 – The sexual vulgarities and deviancies way over the top. The script reads like an uncertain writer trying desperately to shock an audience so as to get some attention. It doesn’t work anymore. It’s all been done. And the big questions is… WHY??!!??!!??!! You’ve got two excellent and deep characters. They are INTERESTING. And you’ve got superb acting to show those deep characters. You’ve got Billy Bob Thornton, a world-class talent. You’ve got the woman who plays the Patty character who is superb! There were glimpses of greatness, the scene that let us peek behind Patty’s façade when she was asked for a date, that were brilliant. Alas, too few. 3 – The ending is very unsatisfying. Sometimes when making a statement in great world-class literature, you may want the bad guys to win everything and the good guys to lose everything. Even then it’s risky. This is entertainment. When you lead your viewers along, then leave them with an ending that is disappointing and depressing, FOR NO GOOD REASON, not smart. Guarantee you’re going to lose a bunch of them. If it were me, I’d never be able to let the series go, it’s got too much potential. But I’d make the writers create a season with material that would NOT rise to an MA rating. I would hope that would force them to focus on the assets they have, their characters and actors, instead of hoping to rely on cheap and easy shock value. Which totally backfired by the way. Get to work. Most writers would salivate at the thought of working with these characters and actors.
