DARK!...
The lighting was terribly dark. An old trick used to hide the aging of actors. It didn't work. Just look at all the wrinkled necks of the parents and the crows feet on their kids. Should have just gone with it. Middle aged, working people age much quicker then the affluent.
The trans-gender boy at age nine being shoved down our throats is going to kill this show. It should have been approached much more subtly.
They were trying to explain too much, too fast.
The Becky character was the most interesting in this. And the very talented Metcalf, as usual, was totally wasted and given nothing.
I would also like to know just what income they are living on. That was the mortar of the original series.
