CitizenVectron Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Great cast, and from Greg Daniels, so I am in. Trailer wasn't fantastic, but character-driven shows rarely have good trailer material. I'm optimistic! Love the moon camo. Apparently Netflix became interested in the pitch based off the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 The trailer is not great, but I want this to be good. Guess we'll see soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 For a recent comparison, I thought Avenue 5 had pretty bad trailers too, but I liked that. I feel like I could enjoy this cast doing just about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Not a good trailer but whatevs, the people involved is why I’m tuning in. Hope it’s good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexy_shapiro Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Oh boy, is it awkward when extended gag is absolutely not funny and goes on for way too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I’ve watched seven episodes. It’s not BAD but it’s super meh. There are some parts that are funny but there are way more parts that aren’t. I like some of the characters (Ben Schwartz, Jimmy Yang, Tawny Newsome). They try to make a lot of jokes about the military, government, and ignoring science but it’s usually not that funny. Steve Carrell’s relationship with his daughter has potential but I feel like most of it is wasted. I think the SHOW has potential. If they do a second season maybe they can learn from this one.

Dre801 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I was lukewarm on episode one. May watch a couple more. . .maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 It feels like a Adam Sandler movie where I will think it’s bad but it’s massively popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was great Spoiler I loved how they needed the chimp to look at the drill and by the time he does they had burned several hours. And then the part where Carrell wants to give the chimp a medal but once he sees that he ate the dog he changes his mind lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed some of the trailer, but if you didn’t, then I won’t hold it against you to not watch it. I have a rule myself; if you cannot get enough material to make the trailer interesting/funny, then I don’t trust the show or movie will be any good. I’ve seen some terrible projects with trailers that looked good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many of those shows it probably took them a couple of episodes the find their groove. Avenue 5 and Upload are the same way, although Avenue 5 figures itself out fairly quickly.

DPCyric Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 After reading some reviews I had a feeling this would be up my alley and the only part of the first episode I didn't like was what a bunch of reviews praised (the singing bit). I don't like The Office but think Carell is funny when he is a little more serious. I seen a lot of hate on the first episode hope this doesn't end up feeling too much like The Office at the end.

sexy_shapiro Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I’m four episodes in and it’s just okay. It has some pure laugh out loud moments but they are too far in between. Overall it’s a fun enough show to put on and enjoy during these stressful times, but I can’t help but this show is squandering its talent. I keep watching though because I love the cast and would like to see this show find its groove, because it certainly hasn’t yet. I love high concept comedies so I’m rooting for this one.
