Surprisingly bittersweet and well written

It starts out looking like a silly show , in a good way, with wrestling, jokes and brilliant use of a fantastic Yumi Matsutoya song, which was the key to me sticking to it! My husband loves wrestling so that worked for him. Eventually, forget the pop song, forget the wrestling - it becomes a heartfelt and introspective drama about dementia, mistakes, regret, infidelity, discovering things are not what you thought they were, the behaviour of the elderly, divorce, life deadlines, father son relations, and family overall.

The ending is very shocking and a real left hand turn but somehow works, if just to show life doesn't always turn out the way you think and you could lose the one thing you thought was the only thing you couldn't lose.

Really well made and written and very sweet and funny.
