    Weaker than the rest of the stores...speed watch it and then binge the rest

    The pilot has some funny moments, but the cast hasn't clicked in to their roles or chemistry yet, and the writers haven't started writing to each actor's strengths. The jokes are there, but the delivery is labored, and the only music in the episode is sample of the theme song, which is weak. Enjoy a cameo from Tina's eldest daughter as a mini influencer, along with cameos from the Tina Fay universe.

    Definitely watch it to get the foundation of the rest of the first season, and know that it gets much better from here on out. Jokes are tighter, the cast starts to gel, and the songs are funny and good!

    A weak opening to an otherwise amazing show

    It's like a TV pilot. This episode is relatively weak and not what someone should base their overall opinion on.

    Which is why it's such a shame that it's the only freebie of the eps on peacock.

    It didn't work at all

    Just watched it and found it painful. Cringe-worthy.

    And it raised an important question -- how can Tina Fey be associated with both this AND Mister Mayor, which may now be my all-time favorite sitcom? I'm thinking it must be Robert Carlock that produces -- what I consider to be -- really great comedy.
