Plot:
Will Arnett stars as Chip, a furniture maker in AA who isn't exactly sober and can't maintain a stable relationship with friends or women while he juggles more than a few lies.
Chip returns to Venice after an exile and finds he has no store, no friends, not even a guest house to live in. How will he get back to the way things were?
Reviews:
Season 1 Rating: Watch it / It depends / [Skip it]
- It's classified as a comedy, which is the only thing funny about this show as it isn't. I assume Netflix classifies all half hour shows as comedies because this severely lacks humor. I wonder if this is Arnett's bid to break being typecast by playing serious in a drama.
Season 2 Rating: Watch it / [It depends] / Skip it
- While I liked this season better than the first, it's Chip's relentless decline as he alienates friends. He's a terrible person, with this season dumping any pretense to the contrary. While it's intriguing to see someone slowly but surely obliterate his life, it becomes difficult when Chip sabotages those around him as they're trying to help him.

Trivia:
- While not officially canceled, Will Arnett revealed in March 21, 2016 interview that the show had caused him to break his sobriety, which he did subsequently seek help.
