Pilot

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!

It isn't great. A few characters are good but the rest are unbearable to watch. That being said, the good ones are good and there are good, funny scenes but overall it didn't make me want to keep watching or anything, but the characters that I did like, I would personally like to see more of, so I will.

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.

It's a good start, some fun jokes, good characters, very watchable. This season will not put them among the greats, this can however also be said for the first season of the office.

I personally do not understand the Esmarelda hate. She is supposed to be annoying and unlikeable, and they definitely succeeded.

Not a terrible pilot, per se, but not exactly one I think will hook many people.

As someone who has seen four episodes now, the first episode is by far the worst so far - the others are actually pretty great.

I enjoyed the 1970s intercut clips and the cameo from Bob Vance, however.

Decent cast, too.
