Alfred Molina stars as a boozy writer who didn't now he had a daughter. He meets her, and before he learns who she is, he hits on her. If you laughed at that, enjoy the show. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 01/03/2020
Not content merely to be dreadful, this new sitcom about a shiftless writer who discovers he has a grown daughter goes out of its way to be offensive. Go to Full Review Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune 01/03/2020
Alfred Molina as Bram plays it entirely too broad and "theatrical." Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 01/03/2020

Producers are aiming for farce, but it's much too forced. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
