It's no way the best sitcom, and the acting is left a lot to be desired. Charlie Sheen plays yet another guy called Charlie who is a ladies man, but the difference THIS time is he is a disgraced baseball player and has an ex wife and a daughter, who in the first episode has OCD then miraculously it is never mentioned again.
It is VERY weird writing this because I do actually watch this every week, hoping the acting gets better, hoping the story lines get better. In reality the truth is it's pretty bad. The woman who plays Charlie's ex wife is TERRIBLE at acting, she has had so much botox she cannot move her face, she is portraying the character to be a bit of a flirt but it just makes her seem like an emotionless whore. All of her lines are delivered flat and it makes her scenes unwatchable, which is unfortunate because I enjoy Charlie's acting.
All characters in the "group" are unlikeable and generic, you have the whore, the gay guy, the bigoted old guy and the weirdo who you wonder why he is there in the first place.
As for Selma Blair's character, she is meant to appear cold, attractive and desirable, like the sister in Cruel Intentions, but she is just a plain bitch who isn't attractive at all.
The truth is I probably will watch the rest of the season for Mr Sheen, but the story lines aren't enjoyable at all and I mostly end up skipping a lot of episodes within the first ten minutes if I know it's just gonna be generic and mindless. If you followed Charlie over from when he left Two and a Half Men, chances are you are committed enough to watch at least one episode, but I doubt you will stay for the whole season.
