I just watched episode one thru twelve and enjoyed to locations and visual shots here and there of various parts of town. The opening noise called "Oh Yeah" deserves a huge "Oh No". It is loud, lyrics consist of two offensively shouted lyrics and is nonsense. In the beginning they used to insert similarly loud noise (passed off as music) between scenes but that seems to have softened towards later episodes. And now for the cast:
The Hero: Quirky, lots of human frailties, faults and goofiness. Works very well. Could solo
easily if the father somehow left the show.
Malachy the Father: Familiar face, only real purpose is to wisecrack. Could be left out.
Niki: The doctor soon to be ex-wife Wac job. Too schizo, gets tiresome. Please go.
Des: The teen kid goof ball. I like him, think he adds to the show
Tinny: The ballsy teen daughter. All shows need a ballsy teen daughter. Formula.
Rose: Malachy's Susan Sarandon look-alike lady friend. OK, like her better than Malachy.
Leslie: The policewoman. I like her the best. She add more interest to plots than any other.
The Horn Toad blond lawyer friend: He is always fun, and his appearances nice and short. In a couple of episode we had Rose's husband just released from prison. Uncomfortable. In another, a long lost brother Christian shows up, turns out he is just out of rehab and a bunch of crooked lawyers are trying to do him in for whistle blowing. Uncomfortable. Streamed these in the U.S. via my Acorn membership, anticipate future series hoping the sub-plot characters stop and hope the writing gets more crisp.
