Pilot

One episode in, I think the show has potential. But if you don't get rid of Esmeralda, it will be literally impossible to watch. Her character contributes, absolutely nothing, and is a major annoyance every time she speaks or appears on the screen. I don't see any way they can make her into a go-forward character.

Wasn't bad! So far it feels like they're taking it a different direction from The Office. We'll see if that's a good move or not. This one seems a little more intentionally sentimental with a slow build, while The Office just plops in the middle of chaos. This largely felt like the beginning of Parks and Rec. The potential is there, but they need to figure out their roles. Domhnall Gleeson's character is interesting but feels a bit scattered between laughing at him and laughing with him. Mare is very likable and is the character drawing me in the most. Esmeralda needs to be figured out. She's over the top and in your face. She's not rooting against her, but you sure don't like her either. I enjoyed watching it, and I will keep watching with the hope that they get things together. I really think they might.

To quote The Beatles, it can't get much worse. I can see potential, but this episode isn't funny. I laughed a couple times in thirty two minutes.

This isn't to say the show doesn't have potential. The chemistry between Domhnall Gleeson and Chelsea Frei is great and Oscar's storyline is fun. The idea of a couple idiot employees and a smart boss is different, but the writing just isn't strong enough to make this a good pilot.

I'm baffled by NBC's decision to roll out the entire show on Peacock instead of airing it weekly on their network that badly needs a hit, but at least I can keep watching now if I decide to (probably will). Also, it was truly jarring to hear an uncensored F-bomb dropped (especially as I watched with my kids). I'm not easily offended, but it just felt unnecessary.

This ain't it, but maybe it'll get better. It must since they've already renewed it for a second season.

The jokes were very inconsistent in my opinion. Some were very funny and made me laugh audibly, but others just completely missed. Some characters are amazing but a few just feel like stereotypes or bland rips of other sitcom characters. There's a lot to work with here and this has the potential to become a very very good show with the right people working on it.

For a new series premiere, this first episode is a great start. The characters seem well developed already, and several interesting plot lines are begun. I cannot wait to watch more! This feels like a breath of fresh air and brimming with creativity and relevance.

Domhnall Gleeson is so likeable in this show! He has that pluck, under dog spirit that I enjoy rooting for!

It's great to see Oscar back too!
