    Animal Control‘s first couple of episodes elicited some big laughs and has already established an ensemble with some good chemistry. There’s nowhere to go here but up.

    While the jokes are indeed silly, there’s an edge to Frank’s insistence that feels unpleasant. As Fred, Rowland is an appealing presence, and I also liked Vella Lovell as the pair’s boss. Much of what the animal control does is, in this show’s telling, low-stakes and charmingly offbeat, making room for workplace-comedy bits that could as easily be at an elementary school or a paper supplier. Which is why it feels urgent that the show recalibrate the Frank character.

    While Mr. McHale provides the centerpiece of the show, the players are all first rate, most prominently Michael Rowland as Fred "Shred" Taylor. ... "Animal Control" boasts writing that takes a chance, which is another way of calling it smart—or adult, though not in any Rabelaisian fashion.
