I saw the poster for the show with three actors that I like (Sam Neill, Annette Benning, Alison Brie), so I figured it can't be too bad).

The characters are portrayed as unlikeable rich brats, and I think from an acting point of view, they did a good job. One thing i don't understand is that they tell us that Sam Neill's character (the father) is Australian. So why does he fake a noticeably bad american accent?

Each character has his own set of problems, but it's nothing we haven't seen before.

Then there's the plot. The mother disappears, assumed murdered, and with the slow build up, all signs point to the dad. The police are portrayed as pretty incompetent, with all the "clues" just handed to them.

Then there's the last episode which makes it sooooo anticlimactic. The mother just decided to take a break from it all. That's it.

But it's the father's behaviour in the end that just makes it so unbelievable. Everyone thought you were a murderer. Your children, your friends, your house keeper, the police, the press. You were made to be the most evil villain in town. You spend time in jail. And then you just act like, oh it was nothing, let's just hug it out and get on with our lives where everything has been sorted out and is now great.
