Though various writers credited over nine episodes.
In episode one, everything conspires against John Hamm. Following his wife's adultery (Amanda Peet) he's divorced and having to pay alimony so his wife and kids and stay in his house. He has an affair with a co-worker and is promptly sacked and his share of the firm's capital stolen. Takes to theft.
Two shows us a little more of the ex and her relationship with the kids and new boyfriend. Then plot shifts into more interesting waters when he realises the South American network of maids to the wealthy are a useful source of knowledge for a burglar...
As we near the end, the police investigate, and Hamm and his wife reconnect...
"Sometimes I just walk around the house and I just look at the sheer volume of shit we have and it fucking mystifies me. I mean when did we become these people? When did our lives get so empty that we have to constantly stuff them with all this shit?" Written (probably) by Bryan Parker.
The mystery of the murder is ingeniously explained. Filming of Season 2 has begun already.
