killjoywholiksgameing Great News, even though it was short-lived, is worth a binge watch. While it has it's issues, which many have pointed out, check the dates those reviews were posted on. The negative ones were mostly posted in 2017, during the show's first season. However, the series solved it's issues by the time the fifth episode of the season aired. But, it wasn't until the seventh episode that the series truly began to shine. It is one the best sitcoms to air on NBC this decade. It's so witty and humorous. Each character really comes into their own after a handful of episodes. The character of Chuck, played by John Micheal Higgins, is the most lovable of them all. His charm is irresistible and I found myself enjoying his portrayal most of all. Give a watch and stick with it, it gets better, even when you think it's already at it's best. Support the series online, and tweet at Hulu or Netflix to pick-up the series for a third season, if you like it. It deserves to thrive like Tina Fey's other Netflix sitcom, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which is also quite funny, but not as funny as Great News.
Steve Madak People are over thinking this show. I've watched the first 4 episodes and I get at least 1 good laugh out of each one. That's pretty good for a new show. I think this has potential to gel into a great show.Yes, there is a touch of the 30 Rock feel but not too much. It has a great ensemble cast that has room to add more as time goes by. I watch this show and get immersed in the story and people in it. It is good brainless fun. I highly recommend adding this to your list of watchables. I hope enough people find this show to make the ratings where they should be.
memeweaver This show is not awful, but there is zero chemistry between most of the cast members. I recently started re-watching 30 Rock, and it was a winner out of the starting gate. With 30 Rock you usually had zero idea where a plot-line was going to take you, and the script was so dense that you could miss lines simply because you were still laughing out loud at the last one.We got through four episodes, trying to find something to clutch onto, as there's not much in the way of intelligent LOLworthy sitcoms around now outside of Sharon Horgan's short seasons of Catastrophe, Divorce etc.
Capt. Spastic I don't dislike this show.You can definitely see many of Robert Carlock's & Tina Fey's touches in the show. Tracey Wigfield & Briga Heelan both have had previous notable efforts and moderate successes, and really seem to be keeping extremely busy. Briga recently playing the great Heidi character on the Netflix series LOVE.Here's what bothers me about this show... Did they think we wouldn't notice?This show is a sliced and diced, chopped, pressed and reformatted version of 30 Rock.Tina Fey/Briga Heelan - Liz Lemon/Katie Wendelson John Michael Higgins/Tracy Morgan - Chuck Pierce/Tracey Jordan Jane Krakowski/Nicole Richie - Jenna Maroney/Portia Scott-Griffith Horatio Sanz/Judah Friedlander - Justin/Frank RossitanoThe list goes on.Unlike the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which was a wide departure from a show about a show format, this show has Wigfield, Fey & Carlock back in VERY familiar territory. It remains yet to be seen whether they've managed to capture lightning in a bottle, or merely static electricity on the rug.As many have noted, the WONDERFUL Andrea Martin has really carried the first few episodes, but she can't do it alone and this show be a success. The first 3 episodes have been a great starting point, but there's a definite need for some more spit and polish if this show is going to make it long term.
