I really want to like this show. The acting is great. The writing is great. I like Will Arnett in the lead role. Like the bro love between the main characters. The trouble I'm having is with the casting of the female leads. Really? 40 something, dead beat guys, with no real jobs, no real purpose and coloured backgrounds are pulling smoking hot 20 something, hipster girls? Really?
Older women in this little serious are treated like accoutrements, x-wives, old mothers. Like somehow as a demographic women over 28 no longer exist except as accessories?
Maybe this is a show for guys and the fantasies they live in? And I am not really the right demographic. I actually found myself feeling insulted, every female character, save for a few, are 20 something, smoking hot, young women, because apparently women just don't exist after a certain age.
If the producers ever read these these kinds of reviews, and they decide to do a second season, seriously think about expanding on female characters, because you are losing an entire demo of watchers for no really good reason.
score 6/10
