    The pilot's humor is juvenile, including a bunch of toilet references, although I did laugh at the baby pool turned into a large margarita. Things pick up in episode two, but not by much.

    There's no getting around it: There are just big problems in the execution of this engaging premise, and I doubt I'll be able to get beyond what I've already seen, given how regularly the show turned me off in the early going.

    Forte himself isn't bad, it should be added. But like the human race when it seems to be down to a single person, the show doesn't feel like it has much of a future.

    I don't really know how to feel about this show. I thought the first episode was hysterical, and this compelled me to keep going, but it justI don't really know how to feel about this show. I thought the first episode was hysterical, and this compelled me to keep going, but it just kept getting more and more PAINFULLY awkward. I've never wanted to just reach through the screen and shake a character by the neck as much as I wanted to do with the main character. At the same time as I feel bad for him that just absolutely nothing ever works out for him, most of his failures are a result of him screwing up. So this annoying dichotomy basically leads me to nothing but frustration, and with every episode this just seems to get worse, especially now that this cringeworthy awkwardness is spreading to characters I used to enjoy.

    Bleh. I don't know why I keep watching it. It's like watching a huge trainwreck--you can't look away.    … Full Review »

    I loved every moment of this. Loved the writing, the actors. Loved the music, too ("I'm an Apeman.") An intelligent comedy. I laughed out loudI loved every moment of this.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I found the first two episodes very entertaining. Starting with the third episode, the writing went down hill. The premises are good, but the dialog and shtick are horrible. The series could be much better with a different lead actor. Everyone else (the other 3 actors at the point of writing this) does a great job.… Full Review »
