This series is just what I needed. I love a good mystery but I'm over the mostly tragic ones.
So I find this the balance of silly/funny and serious/professional perfect. I am a big fan of Bones and Castle which I've watched to death and was happy to discover this.
I find all the characters endearing. I'm a big fan of anything Skylar Astin (Todd) does. I am the age of the adult children and can definitely relate to Todd. My favourite is their mum, Margaret. She continuously surprises me and I thought those days had passed. When I think she's going to zig she zags and I love her more for it. Where most tropes involved in these kind of series would have this smart, gorgeous, confident, powerful woman only dictating to everyone while being totally out of touch with the world as her only areas of existence and knowledge are her professional life and being a mum. This character has tons more to her than that! She's a woman of power, influence and skill yet she genuinely cares for those around her and has humility. It's refreshing for the lawyer template. Watching her navigate her relationships with her adult children and adapting and learning in her parenting is sweet. I think different generations can get something out of it. I guess I just love that u can see these characters growing instead of being one dimensional.
I'm hoping it becomes super popular so they give us more.
