I liked pretty much every character on this show, but if all it winds up being is Ruth's emerging as a heel who loves it it's all worth it for me. Alison Brie doing Zoya is a total joy to watch.

I love tattoos, but in this case the only folks with tattoos in that house were the guys that either couldn't make it or caused a problem. To me it seemed pretty cheap as a signal to the viewer that these were characters to worry about.

Play John Carpenter soundtracks side by side with this shlock and the "the 80s were cool" vibe makes this stuff sound absolutely amateurish. Arpeggio all…
