Acting is good and it is unique in many ways. Keep my interest and looked forward to watching the struggles. And, while I might be in the minority with this, I thought the ending was good. Exactly why many are complaining about it is perplexing to me. How one would expect a happy ending here makes no sense... Watch what is leading up to it because the writing is clearly on the wall. I just cannot see how anything different would have worked.
Now to the issues.... Where is Alan (Carell) using the bathroom? Seems trivial but it bothered the hell out of me to the point of distraction. Next, while Gleeson (Sam) did a great job as the creepy basement dwelling serial killer, it was hard to take him seriously. What does this guy weigh - 120lbs? The idea that he is overpowering and strangling everyone strains belief. The reality is he would wind up getting his own neck snapped. For this reason and only this reason he was definitely miscast. A different and more believable option would be to have him using a weapon. I understand why they did not, but they had the wrong guy doing it. Finally, the episodes were too short. I had to wait then watch three at a time after they accumulated.
