As a father, Ray Shoesmith has to be a good example and as a boyfriend he has to be a romantic man, but behind this lovely personality, Ray has a totally different face as he is a criminal for hire. He makes any wrongdoing for getting money. Can he be able to keep up with his two characters?.
Since it doesn't follow through on the details, it never coalesces into much beyond a few amusing twists and a showcase for Ryan (who is, in fact, extremely good at being a world-weary criminal).
So if you're going to try your hand at a spy or hitman story, it's on you to come up with something more interesting than the many dozens we've seen before. Mr. Inbetween, unfortunately, doesn't.
The show is a little masterpiece of quiet, compulsively watchable comedy/drama. There are no big ideas here, but the strength of its small-scale narrative is breathtaking.
Ryan has a striking and compulsively watchable physical presence: bald, angular and utterly calm even when he's preparing to lay a beating... That unflappable demeanor suffuses most of the show's action, as well as its periodic forays into macabre comedy.
I'm not sure that Mr. Inbetween distinguishes itself to stand out in one of the most crowded fall seasons I've ever seen but I guess the only thing that really matters is this: I would totally watch season two.
