QUENTIN

Your Friends and Neighbors is a flawed show that is kept afloat by Jon Hamm's excellent performance and a surprising amount of humor. Yes, stories about affluent white men turning to crime have been done before (and better), several of the characters and subplots are entirely unnecessary and underwritten (Coop's (Hamm) sister, Ali (Lena Hall), in particular), and the family aspects can get a little soapy at times; however, I was fully invested in Coop's situation from the jump because Hamm makes it all so damn compelling, both through his presence on screen and his Dexter-like narration, especially in the back half of the season.
