Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It earned strong reviews (82% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had a small audience and a quick end and little lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 10 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

After dropping everything to make the move from skyscrapers to farmhouses, Rio and Mike soon realize that the simpler life isn't as easy as they planned.
