I came into this with zero expectations. As a matter of fact the first scene with the bear threw me off. I'm thinking to myself "oh great, this is gonna be another one of those pretentious art pieces I don't have time for this" but the good reviews had me stick it out and oh I am so glad I did. Not a fan of shameless. Don't really know who these actors are but Oliver Platt has a terrific track record. Didn't matter, by the time he showed up on screen I was already hooked. Easy 10 out of 10. Better give us a second season.
