Too Close to Home (2016)
Redneck Soap Opera grows on you
This has to be one of the craziest "soap operas" I've ever seen, with all the bizarre people and things going on. If anyone has ever lived in the "redneck South" and trailer parks, then this is going to hit home on some account or character. Episode one was quite interesting, but the following episodes became more zany and for awhile, I wasn't really watching it much. But starting January, I found I couldn't wait to see what the next episode would bring. There's a bit of everything in this show....sex, drugs, rape, big mean mama, gays being beat up by rednecks, old man with dementia, police much like Mayberry, politician and wife pulling strings to get what they want, families close one minute and fighting the next....the whole can of worms. This series may be a bit much for many viewers, but it IS different, and rather amusing to watch.
