This quirky detective/dysfunctional family comedy/drama had so much potential. I know the actors are all really good, especially Arquette. I don't know why she's playing her character in this overblown way. Sure, she's supposed to be crass, but the yelly, whiny delivery is really hard to watch. It is extremely hard to empathize with Peggy when she seems to keep making bad decisions over and over again. She could be so much cooler, but maybe the addiction issue is what they wanted to showcase. But overall, it's clever, cute, and the story's compelling enough to keep me watching.
The Palm Springs area scenery, though, is often front and center and so beautiful to see. And the soundtrack slaps!
