I LOVE the idea of the ensemble cast being older pensioners and the reviews drew me in; it felt well cast, too. Having watched the WHOLE thing...yes, there's a twist. But it comes too late, penultimate episode. And it's not enough to save what was dragged out for too long; the repetitive nature of the dialog, the poor pacing and editing - were the writers, producers and editors all significantly OLDER than the main cast? Had the producers decided to get a better writer to edit the first draft dialog that somehow made it to screen, add in a glimpse of character development, had uber repetitive bits been cut and the whole thing 4 episodes instead of 6, it might have been great. As is, it's unwatchable. So YES to films or series with older casts, but NO to writers and producers who are one foot in the grave.
