3.5 rounded up. A word about expectations: If you don't expect Good Eggs to be a "rollicking," "hilarious" Irish version of "Schitt's Creek," then I think you'll probably enjoy it quite a bit. It wasn't laugh-out-loud funny to me and didn't bring Schitt's Creek to mind at all (though I love and think of Schitt's Creek often). It's more like if Fredrik Backman wrote a contemporary Derby Girls/Golden Girls mashup. It has a touch of screwball comedy, especially in the antics of the octogenarian matriarch, Millie, but at it's heart it's a character-driven story of a quirky multigenerational family struggling through a bit of a crisis. Or, rather, coinciding crises: a midlife crisis for Kevin, an elder-years crisis for Millie, and a teen-angst crisis for Aideen. Read the first half with patience and the last half will deliver a delightful, satisfying conclusion.

Topics, tropes, and themes: family life, multigenerational relationships, elder care, raising teenagers, sandwich life, early/mid/late life crisis
Content notes: strong language; underage smoking; infidelity; running away; mild violence; elder abuse/fraud; scenes at boarding school, hospital, and nursing home
