This is a show I was eager to see. There are aspects that, personally, disappoint - the pacing (Woody Allen used to do these things so much better, with an under-appreciated energy and precision), the peculiar interactions between the 'odd trio' (yes, I know Gomez's character is supposed to be somewhat disconnected from the older pair, but her behaviour in the early episodes is just a bit too odd and illogical to work for me), the already-cliched 'talking to a dead guy' conceit (after The Flight Attendant, and others, this needs a long, long, rest) and (I know, I know, these things are subjective, but...) Gomez's weird, ultra-constipated, nasal mumble - but the charm of Martin and Short makes up for any misgivings and keeps one watching. Like so many shows these days, this feels like a 90 minute movie stretched out to fill up a non-negotiable run of episodes, but it's entertaining even during its detours and digressions. Not a great series by any means, but a welcome one.
