When I first read the somewhat peculiar name Balthazar Getty I always remember it from Lynch classic "Lost Highway". I can hardly remember him from any other movie. It seems that that fact is something that has gotten clear for the actor himself which urged him to try to cash in on it once again 24 years later.

This movie is hilariously mirroring Lost Highway from start to finish. On the surface for some it may be an identical copy scene-wise but only when it comes to the parts, when you ad the sum of it's part obviously this movie is less.

It is one thing to be inspired by a movie, it's another to make a scene-by-scene imitation like this is.

The cyclist-angle is somewhat weird and doesn't really work with the story. Laughably bad detail. Anyway I saw this on a flight and couldn't stop smiling when I recognized all the parallells. Non-original that tries to rip lynch off but fails a bit. Still somewhat entertaining and could've been better if they toned it down a bit.

Lovely characterdriven series. Nice with a show that embraces the idea of getting old and adds a lot of humour to seniority. The cast is exquisite and the dialogue never bores you, this is Big Lebowsky for old folks. Douglas and Arkin are great together, and the other parts are fantastic too. I even liked Nancy Travis, an actress I haven't paid much attention too in spite of her long career. This is great fun. The show doesn't need any plot really with a cast this good.
