Great Pilot Worth Your Time-Will Build to a Great Series
30 August 2014 | by chippatrickSee all my reviews

This pilot sets up the characters at ROCC for multiple plot twists around hook-ups, rivalries and achievements as David hits a crucial period of his life. Left with the classic parental pressure to get a 'good job' and 'succeed' the opening scene with his father illustrates nicely the conflict with the realistic view of life that Nash shows him. He is the hilarious, paunchy quasi tennis-pro running the program while fending off hot Jersey 'cougars,' the golf pro and fellow staff.

As David's mom, the hardly recognizable Jennifer Grey character has the potential to be absolutely hilarious! Also, Wheeler the valet is reason enough to watch and vote for this series on Amazon to keep going. As the stoner with a brain, set amongst the 'doofus' parking lot crowd, he will surely be front and center in this comedy going forward.

Not all pilots are tight, and some classic comedies started out with downright horrible ones (i.e. Seinfeld), but this one sets the stage for innumerable plot twists to support this season and beyond!

Check it out and vote for it to continue on Amazon Originals!
