    Just kind of okay. They try a little bit too hard with the mean comedy, and it comes across a little too much after a while as the same thing over and over again. Pretty funny how all the professional critics scored it high, because heaven forbid you give a low score through such a diverse show! LOL. You might lose your critic job doing such a thing.

    A show that follows in the same vein as "Parks & Recreation" & "The Office" but falls a long way short of those two. There is an element of charm & community within this show, but it plays it way too safe when there is a rich vein of material to take advantage of.

    It has Parks and Recreation’s sense of community, Modern Family’s precision-tooling, Ted Lasso’s charm, but it is its own, hilarious thing. Despite – or, of course, because of – the truth its underlying tale of real-life deprivation tells.

    This is a sitcom, sure. But the world it builds rings with authenticity. There are occasionally some extremely local Philadelphia jokes, and those too hit with the pinpointed accuracy of a laser beam.

    There's much more heart in Abbott Elementary [than American Auto]. ... The ensemble is terrific. [17 - 30 Jan 2022, p.8]
