Really liking this!  I know most people can’t binge the first day, but I’m hoping more folks will be discovering it soon.

Ted Danson is such a good actor. I literally teared up just at the first shot. I watched with my elderly mom who was very interested! This tugs at the heart a good bit.

Oh and I’m kind of loving the episode titles.

I'm enjoying this too.  It's different from most of what's on these days.

Absolutely loved the first episode - I want to savor each one, so I am trying not to binge.  Thought it was extremely well done and just enough familiar faces to have an interesting game of "who did they play in ....." to go along with the plot.  Already hoping there will be a second season.

I've watched three episodes so far. It's really good - it gets a little funnier after the first episode, which had a lot of set-up to do. 

I have to say, though, it was a real Uncanny Valley effect with the digital de-aging of Ted Danson for the "video" at his wedding reception. I mean, we all know what Ted Danson looked like when he was young, because Cheers reruns are still airing somewhere. The computer didn't get it quite right. Kind of eerie. 

This show has a great cast! I had to keep looking up where I knew them from.

This was cute. Ted is always charming.
