I honestly can't tell if they were trying to insult POTUS at the expense of the audience, or if they were trying to insult the audience at the expense of POTUS.
What an incredible waste of a (mostly) decent cast.

It is a sad show. Depressingly unfunny. Must write 75 words. What else can I add: Pathetic!

Eu simplesmente não consegui rir. E é uma série de comédia. Foi um erro. Duvido muito que tenha uma segunda temporada. Já já a NETFLIX cancela. E nunca mais ouviremos falar desse desastre.

I was reading comments on another site that you must be a Trump supporter if you hate this show. Well, no. I think Trump is an idiot, but I also think this show is just plain bad.

I think Trump is an idiot, but I also think this show is just plain bad. Was surprised that the director made the Paddington movies, which I thought were great, but maybe directing live action just isn't his forte. The actors in this all deserved better. And the otherwise very talented creators should've taken a more hands-on approach here, because this was disappointing on so many levels. Expand

I had to look up the genre mid episode because I was confused, it felt like the Interstellar parts where the are planning the mission and **** but then it would turn into deadpan comedy, emphasis on the dead. It has a real identity crisisI had to look up the genre mid episode because I was confused, it felt like the Interstellar parts where the are planning the mission and **** but then it would turn into deadpan comedy, emphasis on the dead. It has a real identity crisis because there are moments like the kokomo part where it puts the drama on the backsit for a more comedic tone, but then it shuffles back into a drama-driven one where there's a ton of jokes that don't land at all, taking away from whatever seriousness it had built.

They could have taken a page from Veep where there is more balance with the over the top swearing but still keeping appearances, having drama and a plot, but for some reason the decided that a regular "office-like" enviroment but with a space project in mind was the way to go for this.

I don't think I will be giving this a shot, one and done for me.

Watched the first episode and had to stop watching. If you wanted to watch a funny tv show with Steve Carell, just stick to the Office.

Schizophrenic in tone, style and format swings. Low brow, bad taste, forced, prolonged or straight up flat humour attempts. The biggest disappointment of the year so far.

The show just isn't funny. I don't get it. Awesome cast but the humor just constantly misses. I got an occasional laugh but mostly just confused at lack of fun.

Complete and utter lifelessness. It's sad to see a great actor like Steve Carrell try his best to work with such poor writing and directing.

Good cast but it's just painfully not funny. Love Steve Carell but it simply is nothing worth it here.

Terrible writing. Not funny. Acting okay. Characters are not well developed.

It's utter garbage. If you enjoy overacted hysterical "comedy" you might find it passable though.

It is impossible to watch. I did not understand why some characters are needed, especially the daughter of the protagonist.

Much of the humor was blatantly partisan, making fun of the POTUS (Trump) and the military while having all the foreigners and minorities make up for the Americans' idiocy. It had maybe one good joke per episode with the rest being very lowbrow. If you unironically like Stephen Colbert and like sciencey stuff but haven't really studied it, you may like it. For everyone else, don't bother. Expand

How the hell did they manage to make Steve Carrell so unfunny? Every attempt they make at comedy is just a forced, cringey jab at moderates.

So incredibly unfunny and so cringeworthy it's unwatchable. In the network days of TV it would have been cancelled after two weeks, but now, incredibly, there's a Season 2.
