Uh-oh, won't get those hours back. Slick but thin offering. This is only enticing because of the intriguing/amusing premise. But if you demand suspension of disbelief, at least reward by populating the thing with plausible people. No character is sympathetic and no relationship is believable. Something good though, there's a very original start to each episode with a sophisticated recap device. Ultimately there are almost zero laughs, and the ending is an irritating schmalzy cop-out. Love Paul Rudd, and he does his best, but this is a lacklustre turkey, despite stylish camerawork and high production values (the discomfiting soundscape and disturbing music are magnificent).
