Justin Theroux stars as an idealist, inventor and very smart man who, along with his wife and 2 kids, are constantly on the run from the US government. When their latest location is revealed, they set out on a quest for safe haven in Mexico. After the first episode, which takes its time setting up the situation, the rest of the series turns into a highly-involving, peril-fraught adventure. They constantly get into scrapes that seemingly have no solution, but smart papa always manages to find a way. The writers played the narrative cards close, teasing around the reason for their fugitive state. Even though some of the situations strain credibility, the performances are involving (although Theroux’s continual stern demeanor gets a bit tiresome) and the journey proves highly compelling. NOTE: The novel was penned by Paul Theroux, uncle of Justin. (7 one-hour episodes in Season One with 2^nd season already announced) (4 / 5)
