Denis Leary and Ray Romano both starred in the Ice Age series (2002-present)
Tale
It tells the story of three very different families who compete to buy the same 1920s Spanish-style villa that they believe will solve all their problems. I was surprised to see the show rated as low as it is, but it made more sense after seeing a lot of reviews explaining how they couldn’t get past the first episode.
I really like the cast and everyone’s performance
The show is a slow burn mystery that may not be for everyone. I personally found it funny and entertaining with a Liz Feldman-esque tone that I like.
All the different characters have their own subplots, forming a tangled web of chaos that gradually unravels, though not completely
I wasn’t sold on Ray Romano at first because of my own prejudices (I couldn’t tell him from Everybody Loves Raymond for the life of me), but that went away pretty quickly. By the last episode, I was pretty excited about the story, despite the fact that I got the main twist figured out very early on.
I’m not mad about it, though
I’d love to see more of this show, and I really hope they get a second season. No need to waste time scrolling endlessly – here’s the full lineup of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
