    Thoroughly disappointed in what I thought would be a great show, thanks to the misleading trailer. After the 1st episode I was so turned off by it, I refused to watch any more. Definitely not what I was expecting.

    Novak is an accomplished writer and actor, best known for the US version of The Office, but The Premise seems to take novel ideas and flatten them out.

    Even though the first episode of The Premise was uneven, there was enough there to make us want to watch the other episodes. Mainly we want to see if the big swings Novak takes in each episode connect, or if they’re admirable strike outs.
