Feed the Beast: Father of the Year

July 1, 2016 5:51 PM - Season 1, Episode 2

Tommy and Dion court an unlikely investor - Tommy's estranged father. TJ's troubles at school lead to a dangerous misunderstanding at home.

There are really three fathers of the year, here. Tommy's father (the racist scaffolding king), Patrick's father (in jail) and Marisa's father (the detective squeezing Dion for information).

I really don't like the story line with the detective. It's just such a terrible, unbelievable character. I'm pretty sure that I groaned audibly when they revealed that he was Dion's lawyer's father.

Dion's manipulation of Pilar to get her to approve the contract showed a really ugly side of Dion doing whatever it takes to get what he needs.

(Obviously I'm catching up on these slower than I'd hoped.)

I agree that the detective is the most cartoonish character, especially when compared to the Tooth Fairy who is supposed to be over the top. Maybe it is bad casting?
