Close this right now and read no further, because this picture is a huge reveal. It also in a big part of why I ended up very much enjoying this series.So, while I am alsways vague about the ending and in a lot of ways the details of books and movies that i watch, I am breaking with that mold here.
The first season of this show I just did not like it at all. The story is that a family that had had tremendous wealth, self built but precarious, had lost it all, and retreated to a town that they "owned". They arrive with nothing but a massive amount of clothing, and the town's mayor finds them accommodations in a roadside motel. They have nothing but contempt for the people, and all in all they really do not get them either. The towns people are mildly amused by them and tolerate their berating speech.
Season two is more bearable, but by season three it is going well. This is when Eugene Levy stepped away from writing and let his son take the helm alone. Daniel Levy created an arc of a story that is one of the most lovely that I have watched, all the better because there is a lot of gender bending that is very familiar in real life but not so often seem in a TV series. I was sad to see it end, but it does a really nice job of doing that as well. Recommended.
