Stagy

Would swap out: “The West Wing” While I admire its craft and idealism, scorching straw men with stagy oratory does not a defining drama make.

The pacing is sluggish, the scenes feel stagy, and Joe (Ed Oxenbould), Jeanette and Jerry's fourteen-year-old son, is mainly called upon to offer up a series of shocked expressions at his mom's behavior, and to look uncannily like an adolescent Dano.
