Well if this is the product we get from two "lauded" writers then beam me up Scotty!
This is an utter mess from start to finish. Implausibility heaped upon implausibility, meanness, mental illness, disability and cruelty passed off as 'dark' comedy. An utterly fraudulent storyline - to justify an utterly absurd 'shock' ending.
The direction was the one shining light, maximizing the impact and mood and extracting passable performances form the mediocre acting talent. But direction can only take you so far when the script is incoherent, dishonest and simply silly.
You might want to watch this after some of the glowing reviews. But you have been warned.
