Driver plays Dahlia Malloy, a wife and mother who at the start of the series has just been released from prison for a crime her husband, conman Wayne (Eddie Izzard) committed. Understandably bitter, Dahlia self-medicates and steals to protect her children, ending up on the run from a scary crew of extended family. When a crazy coincidence gives Wayne and Dahlia the keys to a new life and a new identity, they seize it, mistakenly figuring life in the suburbs will be a piece of cake. (FX Network)

Eine intelligente, satirische und schwarzhumorige Serie über eine arme US-amerikanische Familie, die "aus Versehen" in ein Viertel der Millionäre zieht. Keine schönen Serien-Gesichter, keine Engel ohne Leichen im Keller. Diese Familie hat viele Leichen im Keller. Manchmal fürchterlich ernst, manchmal verrückt, manchmal sogar actionreich. Und immer erfrischend. Die Musik von Toby Chu hat mich in den ernsten Passagen an Gustavo Santaolalla und in den komischen an Harry Gregson-Williams erinnert. Eine super Rolle für Minnie Driver, die ich meistens nicht besonders gut finde.

An interesting series that revolves around a family of nomads who, thanks to a series of coincidences and the incredible audacity of the father as the head of the clan, exchange identities and pretend to be a high-class family of snobbish lawyers. It's a good idea, with an attractive setting and motifs, but the potential was greater than this and the series lacks the polished screenplay that I appreciated in Breaking Bad. Otherwise, it is a series that offers the viewer black humor and criticism of the social layer into which outsiders cunningly penetrated. Overall impression: 65%.
