To be honest when I saw the previews of this show with Sudeikis running around looking like someone from a playground wanted poster acting like a caricature of an overly positive American that I'm not sure even totally exists I thought wow AppleTV is really bad haha, especially after some of their other major swing & miss attempts. Then I saw the 8.7 rating on here and thought wow they also spent A LOT of cash to artificially raise the score. Disgusting...
But then I watched the first episode, even though I thought the ratings were BS I figured it was worth a shot since I'm a fan of Sudeikis generally, and I have to admit I was wrong. This is one of the freshest shows I've seen in a long time, which is strange because it uses the same old tropes in a lot of ways but I guess it's a combo of the characters and slightly new twists on the old formulas that make it work. It's somehow chesey & nostalgic but only in a positive way. For a somewhat broad comedy the acting is top-notch too, which makes sense if you look at the actors involved backgrounds but still, not what I would expect in a show like this, and I believe that is the other factor that sets this show apart from others like it. I never thought I would say this, but I highly recommend this show, and can't wait to see the next episode! PS - I came in late, as the 1st season is almost over (it's been renewed for a 2nd already) and I would say even though Apple releases 1 per week, it's best if you can save up and watch them all at once, since it's a relatively light show imo it's best enjoyed that way.
