    The show portraits aggressively normal people very well, but ignores the overly apparent sociopathic quality behind it, and instead wants it to be charming. Which doesn't work, when you cannot shake the feeling that those are the kinds of people who would poison the neighbor's dog and feel like they are the victim.

    It is the show equivalent of finding it clever to say your biggest flaw is eating too much chocolate or that you are too perfectionist, when you are actually obsessively shoplifting and once set a homeless person on fire.

    Pivoting works because of its three leads, but they’re dealing with uneven stories that we hope will be worked out as its first season goes along.

    As with most half-hour comedies about friend groups, Pivoting‘s core appeal hinges on its ability to convince us both that these people really seem like friends, and that we would like to spend time with them. On that front, it’s a solid success if not yet a soaring one.
