This new Showtime program definitely has my attention. Just watched the first episode and its very different than your average family sitcom...worth a look for sure.

I just watched the first episode. I thought it did a pretty good job of introducing the characters and setting things up. I will definitely watch more. The dad (william h macy) sure isn't a very likable guy.
I saw the trailer a few months ago and thought it looked pretty great. Will have to check it out sooner or later. ;)
I thought it was good. The family is definitely trashy and I thought Emmy Rossum was the best thing about that show. However, despite them being so poor, they sure had a seemingly endless supply of import beer, weed and top shelf vodka throughout the first episode.
I've seen the English one; is this comparable in quality?
The script from the first episode was 99% identical to the English one. Hoping they try to branch off a little, otherwise, what's the point?
I found it quite hard to watch personally. It lacks the heart and genuine honesty of the original. Some of the characters were decent but Macy pushes it a little too much for my taste.
Still going to watch it though in hopes it develops into its own show
The review I read said the problem is that there isn't a comparable source of income for the family in the US, so the dad, rather than just getting a check, is scamming a disability claim.
