Jimmy Chance is a young man with no plans for the future who works for his father as pool cleaner. But then a young woman jumps into his van, they have a one-night stand and she gets pregnant. Also - she's wanted for murder and gets executed after giving birth. Jimmy is suddenly a single father.

This reads as weird as it's coming across. But it is surprisingly appealing. It has a very surreal feeling but it also leaves a desire to learn how this odd thing is going to continue.
I'm not sure I'm going to watch it but I will at least watch one more episode (and maybe one more after that (and maybe ...)).

Abraham Lincoln once said The trouble with quotes from the internet is that you never know if they're genuine.

I also saw this...and feel about the same towards it as  you do.  I like the fact Martha Plimpton, who I haven't seen since Ron Howard's Parenthood movie, is in this as well as Cloris Leachman.  So there's a few familiar faces in it that I like...

I have seen some previews for this one...not sure I'll watch it though.
