I love Elaine May. I could listen to her read a grocery list and die laughing. I love Woody Allen. His movies are wonderful. After three episodes I had to stop watching this. The characters all seem uncomfortable with their characters and with each other. May and Allen seem somewhat unsteady and frailer than usual. Miley Cyrus is not a particularly nuanced actress and struggles with Woody Allen's dialogue. I wanted to love this - it has all the right elements, but it just doesn't seem to click. On the plus side, all of the turmoil and angst of the Sixties is beautifully rendered. The young people are ready for change, and the older generation is bewildered and unsure of how to deal with it. This series is not terrible by any means, but it just didn't work for me.
