October Road

It’s like “Men in Trees” ... for men.

An uneven and often pretentious drama.

A sort of perfect storm of bad writing.

I kept waiting for the unexpected beat, the surprising plot riff, the inverted cliche , but they never came.

It's a coming-of-age story so overwrought and emotionally predictable, it's -- what's the word here? -- unwatchable.

The series... exists as the kind of bad soap opera that quickly allows you to see what makes a good one.

This wretched show not only features a lead character who is an unredeemable nitwit but dialogue that manages to be leaden, preposterous and pretentious all at once.
