For a show of this nature it's vitally important that the characters are believable. Sadly 'The Family' has 2 major flaws from the start which make it difficult to buy into the show as a whole.
Firstly, there is the Character of Nina Meyer which is poorly cast (too young for the role), I simply don't believe the actor in the role. Furthermore, her opening scene, where she berates the family, is nonsense! Secondly, believing that the character of Claire Warren went on to build a successful all teeth & smiles career in politics after the disappearance of her child is a step too far. Once again, it's just too much to buy into.
You need to believe these people from the start & I for one don't.
The cast is excellent, but story is always king & if that has flaws the whole thing comes down.
