Linda Holmes: 我认为这部剧让人想起早期的高峰期电视剧,它以一个有魅力的中年白人男性为中心,他既坏又可能不坏。剧中探讨了财富的意义和道德,以及过度消费的空虚,但这些主题并没有得到充分的展现。我认为这部剧过分依赖于豪宅和豪车的视觉效果,这分散了主题。如果剧中主人公没有失业,而是出于其他原因开始偷窃,这部剧可能会更好。我并不认为观众应该同情剧中失去工作并害怕失去财富的富人。剧中Olivia Munn和大多数女性角色的作用也不太清晰。这部剧包含了太多不相关的角色发展,例如对警察角色的过度描写。这部剧在身份认同方面存在危机:它究竟是Jon Hamm的个人秀,还是一个关于富裕社区的群戏?它过分依赖于Jon Hamm的表演才能,这使得它难以成为真正的群戏。Jon Hamm在剧中的角色既有魅力又令人讨厌,这与他在《广告狂人》中的角色类似。 Ronald Young Jr.: 我喜欢这部剧的一些方面,比如演员阵容,但是剧情和写作方面存在问题。男主角偷窃的设定并没有成为主要情节,这让我感到困惑。我不确定剧中Amanda Peet的角色设定,她一开始像是反派,后来又试图展现其细微之处,这让我觉得前后矛盾。 Greta Johnson: 我喜欢这部剧,只要我不过度思考它。剧中有很多关于名表的细节,但我觉得它缺少阶级斗争的元素。
