The rage this story evoked in other comments here says something. Maybe all the low reviews are from attorneys or nursing home directors? I saw satire and irony in the characters and plot. Maybe giving the writers too much credit? I worked in health care and also cared for my elderly parents who have since died. Poor estate planning and competency issues are real. Perhaps some viewers are upset at the exposure of the dirty secret that elders in America are often neglected or warehoused by their families. Perhaps a callous lawyer who manipulates that social weakness for profit is no different from a nanny state leader who pretends to work toward social equity but is simply trying to take control of people and resources? The performances were solid. The plot suffered from bad pacing in the storytelling. Otherwise, I think it was a well done dark farce.
