Season 1 Review: It may feature some spectacularly dopey people but it’s a smart comedy, one that proves two things: There are, in fact, new places to take the half-hour-or-so sitcom format. And there is such a thing as a free lunch. Read full review

Season 1 Review: We trust Greg Garcia to not beat a dead horse with pandemic gags on Sprung.
