Flipped — A comedy about a couple who want to get a spot for a home flipper show. Yes, the ending is a major cliffhanger. The acting is pretty bad, the characters are incredibly annoying, and the plot is just so boring. Sometimes I will have ten minutes to kill but don't want to start a whole show on another service.
