Not bad at all so far. I've always liked Topher Grace and good to see him on a sitcom for the first time since That 70s Show. Acting is pretty good throughout and the comedy doesn't seem too forced. I'll be watching more!

I'll give it a chance to be fine tuned over the first season because some things aren't dialed in yet. Overall though it's pretty funny if you are into dry humor.

6.5 is probably more accurate. I've binged a good amount of the series (just started S3). It isn't like a LOL show. There are some light chuckle moments.

It is an engaging and relatable show. Each character is a bit extreme and some things don't make sense. (There is an episode in S2 that hits the nail in the head here) I do enjoy how the actors all play off each other and I really enjoy the casting of the show.

You gotta suspend reality here for alot of it, but isn't that the same with every show, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. It's been entertaining, and especially for a binge to have in while I'm doing stuff.

I like it, the actors are pretty good and likable. Topher needs to stop with the stupid clumsy acts. They look so scripted and it doesn't work. He doesn't have the comedic timing that the other brother has in his scenes. The sister is kind of annoying but comes together with her wife. I hope the show continues and grows more in-depth characters. I feel it might be the a good show in the spring lineup.

Season 1 was a mid-season replacement that struggles to find its footing and I feel that's where the negative reviews are coming from. If you see a negative review, assume they didn't stick it out to season 2. While it may fall flat in season 1, the show works out the kinks and finds a nice groove for itself in season 2 (much like Parks and Rec or The Office who have famously disliked first seasons but gained their fans in season 2). You really don't need to watch season 1 to understand what's going on either. Tom (Topher Grace) is a best-selling novelist whose next book in progress is about his relationship with his siblings Connor (Jimmy Tatro) and Sarah (Caitlin McGee). Connor is a tech wiz in the top 1%, Tom and his wife are solidly middle class, and Sarah and her wife are barely scraping by. That's really all that's established in season 1 that you need to know, so if you want to get into the show start it at season 2. The chemistry between the actors really shines and you believe that they're actual siblings. Tom's and Sarah's wives Marina and Denise (Karla Souza and Sasheer Zamata) balance out the chaos of the Hayworth family and are given some of the funniest moments in the show as the two outsiders to the madness. Overall, it's a great comeback vehicle for Topher who is supported by an insanely talented cast of up and coming character actors. Just ignore season 1 because otherwise you'll miss out on a charming, hilarious family sitcom.
