The first two seasons ( well, first season plus start of second season) were outstanding. Three or four main characters who were well developed, fascinating to watch, and the writing was top notch. Plots were unpredictable and hilarious.
However- and it's a huge however- when the supporting cast ( members of Loudermilk's recovery group) started getting their own plot lines, everything went to sh&t fast; really fast. 5 or 6 characters got more than one shot at carrying the show, and with the exception of Brian Regan's Mugsy ( whose character barely reached "above average" status), all failed miserably. There were throwaway and nonsensical plots that made me think the scripts were taken over by AI. Such a rapid demise for a show with such great promise.

I have been watching for 31 minutes, and it seriously feels like 2 hours. NOTHING of interest has happened, yet I'm expected to watch an entire season of this? Did Jerry Seinfeld secretly produce this 'documentary about nothing?'
Here's what I've gathered so far: There are 2 people being filmed recreating a podcast, and there is drone footage of a college campus and a prison. There has been no mention of conflict, crime, or suspicious behavior of any kind; only ad nauseum ( sp?) repitition of what a great guy hubby seemed like, and how magical the relationship appeared.
Maybe it gets better, but I will never know. This production is way too slow getting out of the gate, and there are so many better things for us all to do.

Nice journey down Memory Lane ( oh, those early 90s when we all turned a blind eye to steroids). Giving this a try, I was happy with the production quality and the pacing but ( Disclaimer: I only watched 2 episodes) I found myself asking' ' Why?'
I'm intrigued by the ' Where are they now" genre, but am satisfied after 45 minutes to an hour....
Perhaps I didn't hang around long enough to hear any blockbusters revealed, but truth be told, I couldn't find anyone or anything compelling enough to warrant further watching.
It was like a high school reunion; good to see everyone is doing well ( again, only saw two episodes), but 2 hours was enough, and I truly wish you all well, but I've got my own stuff to deal with.
