One Dollar's cast of scruffy characters is an interesting bunch, even when under lethal assault by their own writers. I wound up watching them for four hours, about three more than I planned, and each one was more enjoyable than the last. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 09/06/2018
