I saw the first two episodes yesterday and, in a surprise to no one, I liked it. A lot. And considering the humour that was a surprise to me. The first, dreaded, episode worked well for me. I actually laughed a few time. I would've put this down to Drew, but I watched it with someone else and I think they liked it even more than I did. She certainly laughed more.
I thought the awkward/bad acting made sense. Parodying the norm or 'paradise/the American dream' as sold for so long (not that there's anything remotely original or modern about that) They're trapped in their dull suburban existence. Unable to be the people they want to be (especially Shelia) and, therefore, 'act normally'. They have 'the law' on either side of them, making them act even more restrained and worried about how and what is seen.
It's all played at an odd pitch, but I like it.
