Likeable and relatively deep characters, a believable plot, and a tolerable pace are the driving forces behind this show. Stallone is good as the lead, but I really like Andrea Savage and her character, she’s a very nice performance.
entertaining, but don’t really add value or stand out
I really respected that Stallone doesn’t try to look younger when his character, Dwight, honestly mentions his age and how it might affect his relationship with a younger woman. The cinematography and music are nothing to write home about, both are good enough to help the show along.

In my opinion, the show seems pretty average, but I rate it an 8/10 because it’s a solid performer, not a TV/cinema masterpiece or tour de force.
