American Auto

I guess I'm in the minority after glancing at a few reviews which all seem to be negative but I thought it was pretty funny.

I'm excited to see Ana Gasteyer back on TV because I think she's funny as hell and underrated. I was pleasantly surprised to see Michael Benjamin who was one of my favorite parts of 30 Rock when he played Tracy's bastard son, Donald even though they were the same age.

How can all these so called reviewers give one or two stars after only two episodes ??

I don't get why the other reviews are so negative.

As a big fan of Superstore, I found the first two episodes to be pretty funny and enjoyable. They were pretty dumb, and the characters haven't grown on me yet, but it's a promising start.

American Auto begins as a car manufacturer welcomes a new CEO who comes from a drug company and doesn't like cars. So far, the series is a mix of incompetent and semi-competent people going from disaster to disaster created by the CEO (Anna Gasteyer, who beautifully captures the brash, unjustified self-confidence of an American executive). The series is from the folks behind "Superstore" and it's kind of like the flip side; instead of workers talking about orders from "corporate," we see the disaster that goes on in "corporate."

The cast is good, the jokes are often hilarious, and the critics were pretty favorable, so I was shocked after watching a few episodes to come here and discover the users of imdb (and rotten tomatoes, which I also checked out) just hate this show.

Which I'm very sad about, because if the reviews here are representative of the general attitude of the public then this show is doomed. And it's seriously one of the funniest and most likable sitcoms out now.

I know NBC has had a dry decade, so interesting to see them finally bounce back with a new show that's actually funny. Obviously a very diverse and modern sitcom, but a good cast.

2 episodes in. Quick, snappy lines, great diversity of characters and behaviour. Laughed out loud at the way Woke and political correctness is parodied. Obviously plenty of you don't get that, based on the other reviews. It's a comedy. A great comedy.
