What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are split on this meta series about Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson playing fictionalized versions of themselves, with a lukewarm story dragging down the fun. The acting is solid and their fictional characters get good reviews, but the central "brothers" secret and its execution are widely panned. The show's creators, Lee Eisenberg and David West Read, come up a lot as targets for the criticism. Ultimately, it's a decent hang if you're in it for the leads' chemistry, but the plot feels contrived and slow.
