This show's main attraction is Annette Bening. It starts off as a mystery with a whole lot of family dynamics to be unfolded and explored.
The show has mostly well-known, good actors and it is set in beautiful houses. But it's like a second-rate summer novel. The storyline gets a pass. No more.
You keep watching it because it isn't bad enough to let it go, and because you want to know what happened, but as episodes roll on, blame is pointed to every character in a strive for plot twists and surprises that frankly make the ensemble quite ridiculous in the end.
This is what is frustrating about this show. You keep going to find out why all this is happening, and when they finally have it all out in the final episode, it sounds like my twelve year old niece concocted the whole story.
With such a bad story it is impossilbe to draw any interesting acting or character portrayals from the actors. Troy is pretty good, in his usual rich-prick role we know him for. But the rest, including the father, are quite forgettable.
Funnily, as I look over the IMDB page, the similar shows recommended have the same problem: bad, bad, simplistic and childish storylines. Palm Royale, the Elvis Presley grand-daughter show ... a waste of good resources.
But hey, if you don't really care about suspension of disbelief, you can binge watch them one after the other!
