One star because Michael Sheen is in there and is flawless.
On paper the show seemed interesting. But right on you realize it's cheap.
A tv show on the consequences of having a famous serial killer as your dad looks really interesting. Add Sheen as the serial killer, I thought "Yes! Brilliant!"
On the first ep you realize it's not going to work. It should have been dark, it's not. They try to make it dark, and also funny and also a procedural. The characters are caricature, the rich mother, the blond naive daughter, and the son so damaged it doesn't make even any sense how he can hold it together enough to close a case and handle his father and his complex family dynamic.
The show wants to be everything and it's nothing.
But what's make me uncomfortable is that it's not well played, the actors are too much, the writing is too easy.
I frankly don't understand how Michael Sheen ended up in this show.
