I don't know what's wrong with these other reviewers.
This is way better than "Bad Judge", which I really wanted to like.
The lead has great comic timing and the rest of the cast shoes promise.
Just the fact that the stand-up comic Maria Bamford is in the cast makes it worth watching.
I laughed a lot during the first episode, and there are signs that there will be some heart along with the laughs.
Good comedies are hard to come by - give it a chance.
I don't know why IMDb request ten lines of text for a review! It's just not necessary!
