First pilot of the season I couldn’t watch through the end. Just. Don’t.

Pilot free on iTunes, but really just don’t

Gee, I thought it showed some potential. Enough to come back, anyway. Granted, a lot of it was Goggins, but it was a damn sight better than something like "Sunnyside" or, worse. "Parks and Rec."

As those who are connected to me on social media know, the last couple years have been particularly difficult for me. I lost two people very close to me. And I’m now in a relationship with someone who has had her own share of loss to contend with. So I suppose I look at this show from my own personal point of view. And what turned me off (and made me shut this one down) was that Goggins character’s supposedly best friends approached him and said, “dude, it’s been a year... time to stop grieving and start dating.”

The moment those characters presumed to know what was best for a man who had lost his wife, that was the moment I literally had hate for those characters. I know, it’s only a sitcom premise, but we all know TV can influence certain people. And if some viewer out there who is grieving watches that show and comes away from the experience feeling extra bad because they too aren’t keeping to some timeline set for them by their well intentioned yet ignorant friends or family, then a line has been crossed. Maybe it’s an unimportant line for most people, but the concept of this show was just sour and nasty to me. Had to shut it off.
