How about Will Arnett? Does his name ring a bell? He will be the star on the new series premiering tonight on Netlix. I did not watch Arnett in The Millers, but he was pretty good in The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.
Arnett plays the show's main character Chip, who is a divorced alcoholic living in Venice, CA, without a car. No car in California? That sounds like an impossibly futuristic scenario, or so you might think.

Washington Post TV critic Hank Stuever is not too pleased with another California drama, noting:
It often feels as if the creators and writers of these shows
have forgotten that most of us don’t live in L.A., nor do we wish to (why would
we, after watching all these unhappy people?), nor are we all that close to
anyone who works in the entertainment industry. But that’s where they live and
that’s what they do — so, as the old adage goes, write what you know.
I must admit I have yet to circle back for a second helping of Love, so I expect this show will also remain unwatched for some time. And its not California, though that doesn't help, but rather exhaustion with all of these new yet similar shows. I never thought I might watch a police serial for a change of pace.
