Emmy Rossum is a revelation. She's able to play sexy, smart, strong, vulnerable, outraged, hurt, etc, etc. She displayed such a wide range of emotions in this pilot effortlessly, able to convey complex emotions with a single look. Her performance screams the arrival of a star.
I pilot is extremely watchable and extremely entertaining. The actors hold the piece together. It's a real-life, hard-edged, dysfunctional EIGHT IS ENOUGH.
Series is about a hard-luck family that has too many children from an alcoholic, good-for-nothing father. They are on their own, scrounging to make ends meet. They scramble through a variety of jobs and scams to survive.
Give me more.
