Unstable (Netflix). Great premise of a tech CEO (Rob Lowe) that is spiraling, but the execution is uneven. Rob Lowe's son plays Lowe's characters son in the show. He is fine. The rest of the characters are pretty good and the acting is solid, but the writers kind of waste it. There are some really good moments, but 1/3 of the jokes are just silly. I think VEEP kind of broke comedy, because now comedies think every line has to be funny. The writers just need to let the show breathe a little.
Also, weird that this is the second big budget Netflix comedy based on a spouse death. I couldn't get through Dead to Me over this issue, but Unstable is a lot lighter.
