The thing is, this show seems to know its a mess.

The ensemble takes a variety of approaches to this material.

As Angelas boss/illicit lover Dr. Ian Harris, Annable openly telegraphs the sinister underbelly of his characters best-boyfriend-ever exterior.

(Even his frosty cap of salt-and-pepper hair seems to foretell danger.)

Much of the acting is flat.

Ultimately, it doesnt matter.

Everything serves to highlight Zellwegers gloriously goofy performance.

As Anne Montgomery, the actress doesnt so much chew the scenery as absorb it through every pore.

The same can be said for Netflix itself.

Pull the car around, Foster Id like to take take another trip to crazytown.
