Great writing, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if this is an excellent cast, who feel so natural with each other that it feels like you're watching a later season of a great tv series.

Don't see it if you don't like challenging subjects? they manage to keep it both heavy and tenderhearted and funny at times.
