If you look at this show through a narrative lens, the pieces don’t fit together
Scenario
It tells the story of three very different families who are competing to own the same 1920s Spanish-style mansion that they believe will solve all their problems. The exterior of the house is similar to the house Mitchell and Cam lived in on Modern Family.
Eventually, everything comes together
There were plenty of red herrings. We get so immersed in each character’s backstory that the overall story doesn’t seem strong enough to stay on track.
It would definitely be stronger without the band
There are a lot of familiar faces, so I can see why they did this. It had some weak characters, both in the writing and in the acting.
The best part by far
Some of the others seemed to struggle with the balance of comedy and drama. I think it’s time for Netflix to give Linda Cardellini her own show.
