What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are pretty split on this show about a couple trying to adopt, with the biggest complaint being the pacing and story. They find Rafe Spall's performance as Jason charming, but ironically think the character of Jason himself is grating, and Nikki isn't much better. The humor is genuinely funny when it lands, and the adoption premise is relatable, but too often the show feels like it's going nowhere.
