Washington plays a therapist whose life is upended when her father (Lindo) is released from prison, in a series inspired by the life of creator Tracy McMillan.
Kerry Washington, Delroy Lindo, Marque Richardson, Faly Rakotohavana, Jordyn McIntosh, Brenda Strong, Jee Young Han just feels somehow off. While its lightly comic tone and half-hour run time suggest an easy-breezy comfort watch, there’s an anxious quality that makes it stick in the throat. It’s in Paige’s too-broad smile and self-deprecating laugh, and in the strained friendliness between Edwin and Paige when she picks him up from the penitentiary.
Lindo is so lovable, in fact, that his allure threatens to skew the audience’s sympathies in Edwin’s favor when he’s butting heads with Paige. By contrast, Washington’s nails Paige’s wariness, her vulnerability and her capacity for kindness, but doesn’t overly concern herself with trying to make her seem particularly likable. Her prickliness keepsfrom feeling as warm and cuddly as it could be, though the series does start to mellow as Paige opens up over the course of the season.
