Strangely, this series tried too hard and not hard enough at the same time: too hard by trying to assemble yet another quirky cast of youngish actors in yet another communal living situation, and not hard enough because the writing and performances were positively excruciating. Maybe with good material the cast would have come across better, but I doubt it, given the rarity with which any one of them exhibited any kind of talent for comic delivery or any ability to make their characters likable. Yet another failure from the network (ABC) that tried to replace "Sports Night" with "Talk to Me" and now shows the soon-to-be-short-lived "Geena Davis Show" in that same time slot. At least they came to their senses about this particular series that should never have made it past the script stage.
