In New York, in the borough of Manhattan, there are several numbered "avenues" which are intersected by streets with smaller numbers. Likeable and relatively deep characters, believable plot, tolerable pace are the driving force of this series.
Stallone is good as the main character but I really like Andrea Savage and her character, very nice performance
I really respected that Stallone didn’t try to look younger when his character Dwight was honest about his age and how it might affect his relationship with a younger woman. The cinematography and music are nothing to write home about, both are good enough to keep the show entertaining but neither add value nor stand out.
My review makes the series look pretty average, but I rate it 8/10 because it’s solid entertainment, not a TV/cinema masterpiece or tour de force
