The cast members are such fun to watch, they can carry the series while it finds its footing. Go to Full Review Ray Richmond Variety 08/14/2019
[Nathan] Lane is able to tackle material this dreadful and emerge with his reputation essentially intact - a credit to his talent and an indicator that he is primed to soar with the right series project. This ain't it. Go to Full Review John Carman San Francisco Chronicle 08/14/2019
[Nathan] Lane can digest more scenery before breakfast than most actors consume in a lifetime. He can make Joseph Panini broad, somewhat operatic and rogueish, but he can't make him charming and sympathetic. Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 08/14/2019
2.5/4

It's dull, contrived and unfunny. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
