    Milennials are going to hate it but the humor is actually there. And it is funny. He may struggle sometimes but Joel McHale's big return is enjoyable.

    I will have to say I hate pretty much all shows that have a laughter track over the top of the show. It generally means the jokes are weak and you need to be told when to laugh! I did not laugh!

    Actually really enjoyed this. Might be aimed at non-millennials (ah, really?). Set DVR, look forward to further episodes, Plus McHale with beard.
    This mocks every stereotype of millennials and Gen-Xs. Watch Stephen Fry carefully though. He is the Yoda of the show and there is much to be learned from 3 scotches before lunch. Plus bears.

    HA! Aren't millenials so silly?! With their twitters and their buzzfeeds and their instagrams? Ha! They're so entitled, inexperienced, and sensitive! *Canned laughter* Pure comedy!

    I've been recording and watching this show since episode 1.

    The first couple of episodes were cringe-worthy, but I saw the actors portraying their characters quite well. So I decided to stick with it for a few more episodes.

    I like it. I look forward to watching the show each week.

    The characters are most excellently cast in the roles they play. The whole scenario of the show is quite current, and quite entertaining in its viewport.

    Yeah, this one is one of the good comedies to premier this season. Keep it comi'    … Expand

    I look forward to this show every week. Always been a huge Stephen Fry fan but these writers haven't really worked out how to write for him yet- it's actually the young cast that make this show great- can't wait to see them get better and better. Not enough funny women on tv these days - Christine Ko, Susannah Fielding and Deborah Baker are hilarious. Cannot work out why this show hasn'tI look forward to this show every week.

    While there may be some hidden truths in the intended comedy, the scenes often come across as judgemental and ill-conceived.

    The problem is that the show and its humor are relics of an increasingly unsuccessful formula for TV comedy.

    The Great Indoors would benefit from better writing, of course.
