Unstable

This is a really fun and funny show. I know not everyone likes all comedies. One star? Some of these reviews are way too critical. This really is a good show. Much funnier than those horrible reboots how I met your father, that 90's show, and Night Court!

This was a lot funnier than I had expected, hopefully it get's renewed for another season. There is no ridiculous laugh track, thankfully. The writing is fresh and funny. The actress that plays Anna is perfect as the CEO of Rob Lowes Character Ellis's company. She is great as the funny yet "straight" man to Lowe's wildness. Rob Lowe's son does a great job playing his son in the show. Def worth the time.

I was planning to just play this as background noise but found myself tuning in. It's not a HAHAHA type of comedy nor slapstick. It's more serious set up with characters who are unserious, chaotic, unhinged, and campy. The whole bit is just dry dead pan and sarcastic humor. You'd laugh because it's ridiculous and somehow true too.

Reminds me of IT Crowd mixed with Big Bang Theory and Park & Rec. I found the characters fit the cast so it felt natural especially Rob Lowe's character who's an eccentric narcissist. The overall banter exchange is also fun to watch.

There's some little serious sweet moments but it's overall just unserious. Just watch the 1st episode and if you like it then you'd like the whole bit because it keeps a constant vibe. It follows a thin storyline but aside from that is episodic.

From the creator of the the brilliant Better off Ted and it shows.

If you like that show (especially the science/lab bits) you'll like this and if also like Rob Lowe in stuff like Parks n Rec and The Closer then you'll love this.

Its basically if you took Rob's Parks n Rec character and put him in charge of Better off Ted lab.

Add his real life son for some nice bonding over the loss of the wife/mum and this show has some nice tender moments too.

As others have said this is very fast/fake talking - its knows its funny and its trying to be, not realistic. That style might not be for everyone but I personally love it.

I binged all of season 1 in a day. I went in expecting nothing and I was laughing out loud each episode. But it looks like the magic has faded in season 2. I think I force chuckled a couple of times in season 2 so far... I'm only halfway through the season and I have no desire to keep going. I'm gonna try to finish this season eventually, but I hope if they get renewed for season 3 that they will try to go back to the season 1 formula. Also the new intern girl in season 2 is just awful. Her scenes are unbearable. Her personality is dreadful and she sucks the life out of an already dying season.

I really wanted to like this and hoped as they got into second season (which frankly surprised me) there is something missing from this show. Heart? Soul? Or maybe good writing, characters that you can like and root for. For a work place comedy with scientist watch Better off Ted. I mean the whole premise is good, The acting from the Lowes is pretty good. But it meanders and while only trying to fill 30 minutes seems to never get going at all. I really thought by second season they would find a rhythm but they really didn't and episodes tend to lag and have flat spots and story lines are dropped out of nowhere.
