normally i wouldn not comment on an american soap opera however this just seem another example in a long line of mediocre work and which be just way overrate . case in point represent peter krause seem to be the most narcissistic actor work in tv today and the 4 or 5 expression he manage to pick up in act class be wear a bit thin in 6 foot under ( another overrate pile of doodoo ) now they be just indicative of his total lack of character or personality or screen presence . the married relationship smug nick and simper lisa have be a boring cycle of lisas insincere jealousy of karen argument bust up reconciliation every episode . william baldwins character patrick be suppose to be a senator or congressman or something . well all he do be stumble around with that slack jaw and half coherent primate with hurt emotion thing he do so well and which suit 2 dimensional stereotypical character like con and drug dealer and drunk but be a bit of a stretch way play a complex character like a u senator . donald sutherland and jill clayburgh be just laugh all the way to bank . there more but i have get thing to do . oh glenn fitzgerald character be this show only save grace and it probably not enough . cheer .
