Man and young girl stand outside

As the cheating husband who drove his wife to a life of comedy in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Michael Zegen proved he can play a cad without losing the audience’s sympathy. By the end of the series, in fact, we were rooting for him almost as much as we were for his joke-telling ex.

In the comedy-drama Notice to Quit, as actor-turned-real estate agent Andy Singer, Zegen again relies on his natural likability. So, it seems, does first-time writer/director Simon Hacker.

Perhaps more than he should.

To be blunt, Hacker gives us almost no reason to cheer for Andy, an ethics-challenged New Yorker who’s down on his luck. To name just one of his vices, he regularly makes extra bucks by stealing appliances out of vacant properties and selling them to a ragtag gang of thugs.

Then, just as Andy is being evicted from his apartment because he’s behind on the rent, 10-year-old daughter Anna (a relatable Kasey Bella Suarez) shows up and wants to spend the day with him. She’s mad because her mom (Andy’s ex) is moving to Florida, and she doesn’t want to go.

Trail of tears sign

Following his humiliating debate performance, Donald Trump is leaning even harder on the fear factor to rally his base. At the core of that strategy is engendering fear of immigrants. “We have millions of people pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums.”  He is doubling down on his calls for mass deportation, promising “the largest deportation in the history of our country.”

I am concerned that Americans have only begun to imagine how devastating mass deportation would be. There are around 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US.  Many are deeply established in their communities. The Migration Policy Institute estimates that more than three million own homes.   What will it look like when millions of established families, many of them with deep roots in their communities, are forcibly torn apart?
