Audience write-ups from TMDB

The initial seasons were generally well-written, particularly regarding how realistic characters acted and spoke; it was refreshing to see so much common sense applied. However, around the middle of season four, the writing quality became erratic, with noticeable drops in believability across those same areas. A new character introduced felt incredibly irritating, and even attempts to soften the portrayal of their…

Eric Winters, who plays Tim Bradford, is unbelievably attractive—seriously, I can’t even. He's exactly the kind of man I'd want to have children with. The supporting cast isn't bad, but honestly, I tune in solely for Tim. His body is absolutely amazing. Jackson West is appealing too, but he doesn't quite measure up to Tim Bradford. I really wish Tim Bradford would notice me!

This is an excellent series! There’s nothing in the way of a hidden message or political slant to be found. The characters are exceptionally crafted, and you become invested in their stories; it's easy to feel affection for them. I honestly can’t think of anything negative to mention regarding this program—it truly is wonderful and absolutely earns that perfect 10/10 score.

I’m honestly speechless—that’s all I can really say about it. Seeing the premiere was an absolute thrill; this isn't a series that gets bogged down in being overly serious or relies on constant jokes, but finds a good balance, which is exactly what I appreciate. It’s genuinely funny and also incredibly entertaining. The actor from *Castle* brings a lot of energy and charisma to his role. I really enjoyed the show; it…
