Just started watching season 1 (eps 1-2 of 7). It's another Greig reco, and so far it looks like another good one. It's not particularly uplifting, but the script and acting are strong and it has a slow, gripping quality. At this stage I'd describe it as a slightly darker take on the "American Beauty" mid (or, more accurately in this case, near-end) life crisis. Also thematically similar to "Weeds" -- but this time not for the Desperate Housewives crowd.
The bathtub-thru-ceiling scene in episode 2 was a classic -- the first time in a long while I've found myself literally convulsing and (half) turning away from the screen. Maybe it was partly the home-owner in me...
