Instantly this has become one of my all time favourite TV shows. It effortlessly combines gentle, tender hearted humour, with interesting, engaging character arcs, crude sub-plots, and vulgar language.
The casting is impeccable. Ron Livingston is a delight, and plays the titular character with a genuine warmth and humanity. He's the sort of guy you wish you had living in the same block as you. I found myself cheering for him at every turn, even though he was being an a-hole.
Why this series wasn't more successful is beyond me. Truly a hidden gem.
