ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Denovot That seems to be the question I'm left with after viewing the first two episodes. The lead female takes over acting to the extreme. Then there's the framing and close ups on said over acting that makes sure you can't miss it. And there's the script, there's only so much even a great actor could make of those lines. The behavior of the 8 year old girl at the center of the drama doesn't help towards garnering much sympathy from the audience. Her character is just not believable and quite irritating to boot. Devon Sawa and the husband Tom do a pretty good job with what has been handed to them but haven't been able to over shadow the glaring shortcomings. The pacing is a problem as well, especially in the first episode. They hit you with one thing after the next, never really establishing much of anything to captivate the audience. Even with the throw it all at the wall method they haven't carved out a unique story. I've only seen 2 episodes and I can pretty much guarantee the writers will have the lead locked up in the looney bin before the series is over. Le sigh.

darren-beason Was this written for Disney Channel? The topic of this show is supposed to be serious but you have a daughter, husband and wife who are rediculous. Why do tv shows insist on writing for kids as if they were idiots. And Paula Patton, not sure she ever deserved to work aside Denzel or Tom Cruise after a script like this. The worst part about the first episode is when it does decide to get serious, you've already spiraled down a lousy setup of a show. Did I say it already, but the daughter's acting is horrible?

cateherrick Couldn't get past the little kid playing daughter or maybe just her role...the kid was so over the top and obnoxious, I couldn't care less about her. Felt empathy for mom, but not the child.

markpagani I have seen this series and I enjoyed it. The idea that "the universe can give a second occasion" is fascinating and was well developed across all the episodes. I don't understand the nasty criticism on the writing and the acting, which is comparable to many other series. Many people say that the little girl has too much space (which is not true) and is not realistic because it is too young to behave like that. It is difficult to say, kids are sometimes precocious to a degree that you cannot even imagine.
