I think the storylines are great. I can’t wait to see who all we get to meet!!
And as they flesh these out I see myself getting more invested. It didn’t take me long at all to care about what happens to all of these characters.
I’ve laughed but I’m sure this will be sad at some point.. I’ll tune in every week ready to see what happens.
The characters have a lot of growth even in the first and second episode, the jokes are perfectly timed and executed, and all of the actors are doing a superb job!
This is one of the best pilot episodes I’ve seen in quite a while!
Harrison Ford does an amazing job in his supporting role and Jason Segal does a wonderful job playing a flawed, damaged character that is trying to be a better person and father.
This show made me laugh like I haven’t in a long time.
It gives me a vibe of old 2000s tv shows/sitcoms. And I love it!
Overall I really enjoyed this series. I can’t wait to watch more of it!
