I loved this guy in The Shield, Justified, Vice Principals, the Tarantino movies and even the guest spots on Sons of Anarchy.

This preview though (which also has some of my favorite folks from Ballers)...makes me sad that Goggins is wasting his talents on this.

That actually looks like it could be good to me.

New series on major network TV is always code for "I'm out" with me.

I could see it being good but I could also see it being super sappy like "this is is"

Gotta make a living - this is probably a bigger payday than any of the shows you listed.

The only reason I might watch it is because he's in it. Might check out the first few episodes to judge. WG is best when he's unhinged and over-the-top; network television might not allow him to shine.

But, I am glad he's finally getting some major breaks.

I'm sure the paycheck is good, and I can't fault him there. And who knows, maybe he is worried about being typecast as that unhinged edgy character...I just like him in those roles so much.

And glad he's getting work.

Just saw this was on Netflix the other day and I'm about 7 episodes into it.

Not gonna lie....I'm REALLY enjoying this show. Goggins is great as expected, Rob Corddry has been a fave of mine for years and his character here is just perfect, Michaela Watkins seems to have finally hit her stride with Delia, and the two girls who play Goggins' daughters are just adorable and fantastic actresses.

If you were on the fence, give it a shot.....I can't vouch for anything past 7 episodes at this point yet though so if it takes a turn for the worse further down the line don't come at me.

I'm also a fan. Unique premise and a fun group of characters.

This looks good. I'm always happy to see actors I like get different opportunities.

Just recently watched this on Netfilx as well after seeing the teaser for season 2. Really enjoyed the show. Goggins was great. Agree with the poster above, the daughters are really great actresses. In fact, all the kids in the show are great.

Started this last night as I wanted something mindless. Enjoying it so far.

Gogggins can do no wrong to me after Righteous Gemstones and Vice Principals. I need to give this one a shot.

I watched all of season 1 over the last few days. Very easy, relaxing show. Has some edginess with Wade's widower dating life, but the bigger stretch is watching the adults sit out by a fire pit in Asheville, NC drinking wine and beer every episode. With 7 kids 14 and under between them, one doctor, and 2 business owners..... that's as much fantasy as Game of Thrones.

However, watching this show is as relaxing as having a glass of wine in the spring before dinner.

We watched it in a few days based upon this thread. It's ok and harmless, but then binged Vice Principals. Hilarious

It's telling that I like it when I thought it was a Netflix series and then thought less of it when I realized it came from a network series.

Goggins was amazing as Boyd Crowder in Justified.

His scenes with Tim Olyphant (Raylon) were must-see TV.

Welp, I think we've reached the point of shark jumping. Season 2, Episode 3. I was hoping they'd avoid it, but they finally made their "woke" episode.

Rob Corddry's character gives one of the black kids a neon blue water gun and the kid is super excited because he's never had one before. The black dad has to have the super melodramatic conversation with Corddry about how his son can't run around with toys like that...you see, the color of the gun doesn't matter, the color of his son does. The test of the episode was more of the same. "White privilege", "White Fragility", and "White guilt" all make appearances in the script.

You're watching CBS sitcoms. They don't jump the shark. That implies quality that slips. CBS doesn't make quality sitcoms. They make Young Sheldon.

That isn't jumping the shark. That is a lib getting triggered by a show fostering a healthy distrust of big government authoritarian figures.

Yeah season 2 especially the last half was terribad.
Had promise after season 1 but then went off the rails.
I fully expected the cancellation.

Season two was a step back. I never really liked the girlfriend he was with for much of the season. Chemistry just seemed off. Still, I was hoping for another season.

Plus, this show sucked from day 1. I'm glad Goggins most likely got a big pay day for it though.
