One of the best shows in this summer/fall season 2019. It's true that the story line is lined up with ubiquitous TV tropes (all-American back-against-the-wall win-against-all-odds, struggle between moral imperatives vs dire physical needs, 80's nostalgia, etc) and thinly written/cartoon-like characters (husband, Cody etc) and some bad acting (Ted Levine), but Kirsten Dunst is doing a phenomenal acting job, as does the actor in the supporting role of Ernie. Just that merits viewing. The script, despite the limitations mentioned above, is funny, refreshing while being "realistic" enough , well paced, and keeps us invested in the tribulations of our protagonist. In short, here is a nice little show that doesn't insult the intelligence of viewers (i'm looking at you "the Affair") while being entertaining.
