Probably the worst show I've seen that has been green lit after horrible feedback.i was amazed to see promos and billboards of this out.
I had not seen a single bit of advertising for this show. I saw that it was starting tonight when I was browsing DirecTV, so I set it to record, strictly because Hank Azaria is always funny in anything I've seen him in.
The show is terrifyingly awful... It is not even a shadow of its former self the Free Agents UK series.
Wow wow wow wow WOW! It is well-known in the TV world that a new sitcom now has to open running on all cylinders or it is over.
Firstly, the casting in this show is brilliant! These are truly talented actors who could pull off any show thrown their way given a good script.
I kind of liked the premise of this show and even if it wasn't a 20 minutes 'laugh out load' episode, it was nice and had me at least laughing a couple of times. Good enough to keep me wanna come back for next week.
Having recently seen The Smurfs, seeing "normal" Hank Azaria was a bit of a shock, and I'll explain - I'm used to hearing his voice on The Simpsons and commentaries on The Simpsons, and while I know what he looks like, the stuff I've watched never really has him in live-action, the only one from memory I can recall being The Birdcage.He plays a newly-divorced guy who's just had sex with a widow (the underrated Kathryn Hahn).
And doesn't treat the thirty-and-fortysomethings like they're elderly. We find it funny and enjoyable and don't understand the highly negative ratings this is getting.
I think it is a refreshing new twist on the sitcoms that are usually on. It is two adults, they don't partake in excessive drinking, nor excessive illegal drugs, they have jobs to go to.
