The first 2 episodes were so long ago I forgot what it was about but, I remember thinking it was an absurd show trying to infuse too many elements from other popular shows and, of course, historical events. I didn't think I'd keep following it. I watched the return and was pleasantly surprised. It's watchable now. Still, at a 7, just barely but if it continues to improve it could become something. Maybe too late. I think I saw it may have already been canceled. Much better now though, in it's second incarnation, than the original 4 I might have given it. The cast is mostly alright, but I've never really cared for Elliot Gould's acting. He seems like a really nice guy but, a one-trick pony... doddering, clueless, yet always with that omniscient grin... you're right E, there must be something you know that I don't.
Addendum: The way I rate shows... I don't usually review anything less than a 7 because 6 would be a failing grade and I won't waste my time watching it. I'm old; I don't know how much time I've got left. Since I probably turned it off before getting even halfway through, it wouldn't be fair to rate or review it. 7 is watchable but I may go a while between episodes since, though somewhat entertaining, there are other shows more interesting or compelling. 8 would be a regular in my lineup. 9 is a must see and probably bingeable. 10 is just the epitome of superbity and headed for my all-time favorites list. I'm adding this to my reviews because it seems there are a lot of binary reactions to pretty much everything these days. I am not a like/unlike kind of guy. I see a lot of grays so if I give something a 10 it doesn't mean the only alternative is a 1.
