sgonyea This show is hilarious, I laughed out loud about 10 times an episode. Each character is funny and unique in there own way. The writers do a fantastic job and some of the best jokes are in the background. I would highly recommend this show to anyone who likes a good laugh.
thrall7 Like a lot of people, I'm a big fan of John Lithgow, who is a very versatile actor. He's one of a select bunch who are adept at serious drama and broad humor, as seen in his turn on "Third Rock from the Sun" and his hosting SNL.This show isn't pretentious about the humor. It's broad and fast-paced in most episodes. If you don't like one joke, wait thirty seconds or so and we've got another one for you. The writers make use of a lot of devices to get the humor across, including some quick-hitting sight gags you need to watch for or you'll miss them. (As an example, check out the slogan for the health club in one of the episodes as the trial begins.)Jayma Mays is a bundle of sexual tension in her role as the ambitious DA and is nearly as funny as Lithgow's character. Sherri Shepherd is great in a sometimes too small part. Overall, the cast is wonderful and seems to be having a lot of fun with the show.I will say that I don't know if this is a show that has a lot of staying power, though, because it's hard to see where it can go after this first season. Still, it's a very funny half-hour that really is a lot different from most of what's on right now. The only show that takes the same approach to fast-paced, packed with jokes is "Angie Tribeca." It works for them and it works well for this show.
Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) Dear Jeffrey Blitz, Matt Sohn and Jennifer Celotta (directors, producers & writers of the Office), OK you got away with these stupid zoom-ins and zoom-outs in The Office, but did you have to reproduce that annoying effect in this series?I've tried watching 3 episodes and I couldn't get past 10 minutes into each one.Of those 10 minutes, the humor was stale and the actors try too hard. Sure, John Lithgow is funny, but humor isn't about acting stupid, childish and pathetic, all the makings of this series. I may have given it a chance had I not gotten dizzy from the constant overdone zoom-ins. Enough already.
matthijsalexander The pilot is bad news for comedy.It's simply not funny at all. Simple as that. A failed attempt at humor and it should be discontinued for the sake of the actors. Somebody has convinced them this would work.The story-line is not all that bad and could work. The actors, the cast, not all too bad either and I see how on paper this could look funny. But, it lacks something. I think its the writing.Over the top, simplistic, easy and not very well thought through.Its a comedy, a murder happened, a young lawyer goes to a small hillbilly town and runs into all sorts of characters. Etc.If the writers and actors have some self-respect, run away from this baloney! Torture at best!
