I was super excited about this show. However, the first episode kind of let me down. I was like,, this isnt that funny, or good. But...

Not as brilliant as Veep but fun enough to make it worthwhile. Each episode has a half dozen lines and moments that really pop.

I can only guess the low scores here are SJW sores. This is an excellently written show, with great lines and delivery. A worthy gap-filler until the next season of The Orville drops.

Give this show a chance. I didn't think I'd like it but I found myself laughing out loud several times an episode. No, not everything is funny but there is one joke after another in the dialogue.

Veep in space? Count me in. Same vein of authority failure and some spectacularly cringrey moments, definitely a fun watch.

This show is amazingly funny. Must be old prudes that have no idea what comedy really is giving this bad reviews.

It is exasperated, clinically depressed and overwhelmed, frustrating and exposes the worst part of the service industry ... the idiotic entitled customers. It's a brilliant show if you have the intelligence to appreciate the timing and wit. I hope we get 10seasons...not to mention we get one of the greatest quotes of our generation as only Hugh Laurie can deliver....'Can everything just Fk off'… Expand

Great way to kill some time. Show has a great sense of humor and should’ve gotten another season.

This is a really funny show, with classic Iannucci dialogs and situations. It's not perfect, but the low average score suggests to me unrealistic expectations. Glad there's a season 2, bring it on!
