This is well acted. Dialog and interactions are well written. But overall it is merely mundane.
There's no excitement, no intriguing story, no point of interest. No compelling factor to engage a viewer.
The characters are interesting, the problem is the story is nothing more than "a day in the life of an English professor." Seriously, that's all it is.
I assumed by the third episode some factor or plot point would come about making the series more interesting and intriguing. But honestly, at 3 episodes I don't feel compelled to watch more. It's missing the "what will happen" factor a great deal. The only "open" plot points are, well, rather mundane... the reconnecting with an absent father.. the writer's block... the wife wanting to spread her wings a bit.. it's just all so dreadfully ordinary.
So, perhaps by episode 6? Nope.. Still the same dreadfully ordinary storyline. There are brief moments where it appears more may be coming.. but it never does.
Perhaps a season cliffhanger?? Nope. Season one ends as horribly mundane as it started. Viewers take away NOTHING from this series. It's entirely forgettable.
It's as if they wrote a tv series based upon your neighbor John.. with a wife, and an adult daughter, and a job.. nothing out of the norm... nothing overly exciting.. nothing really that interesting except to John himself.
There's no purpose in this show and no payoff for anyone who watches it.

I went into episode one with an open mind and not expecting Saul. I do think that Bob Odinkirk has an acting type. He has a very similar personality. He does have unresolved issues and messes up. Much like Saul but with far less enthusiasm. A character who is just bored out of his mind. I enjoyed seeing some of the lesser known that were casted. I apologize as I've only watched one episode I don't know names. The girl in the wheel chair was a great actor. She was believable in her role. This episode was intentionally dry and wanted to convey how dull and boring his life is. It introduced the issues that Hank has. His father, daughter and one of his students are the biggest ones. People felt the dryness of episode one and translated that to a low rating when it was intentional. I look forward to the great acting about exaggerated problems because of the boredom in town and school. I was a school nurse and it was enough to understand the frustration of mundane as a professor. We watched the conveyance of mundane. It's ok to think it was dry and lifeless. That was the goal.technically , Wardrobe was great. Lighting was perfect, sound was level and without interference. Set design good so far. Limited sets at this point. IOW, they've got great cast and supporting crew. It will be a great show.
I really enjoyed the first episode. I think it's witty and shows a lot of promise. The acting is great, and Odenkirk shines as always, yet the rest of the cast doesn't get left behind as they are great too!
Hank is hilarious and it seems the show will be packed with comedy but never leaving the drama behind. Can't wait to see the next episode. The only problem is the fact that it's on AMC, because the streaming platform has A LOT of working to be done, but other than that, I have my hopes and expectations up, and I feel like it'll be a fun and interesting ride. If you like 50/50 drama and comedy shows, I feel this is the perfect balance and a really good choice.

I'm writing this only after the pilot episode. As it is the only one out this far, I really love Bob Odenkirk as I could watch him Rita phonebook. The character introduction episodes for most shows are always a snore fest and this was entertaining enough I was hoping for a little more drama or excitement or a cliffhanger perhaps but I'm hoping that type of emotion will come in the future episodes. I was really happy to see Diedrich Bayer come into screen, as I always wished he was in more things. He is a joy to watch. Finding out Susan Cryer would be a cast member on the show was quite a nice surprise as I really enjoyed her role in Silicon Valley. I will say that her personality and tone in the show is similar to her character in Silicon Valley. Shannon Devito stole the scenes that she was a part of and I feel like this will be her breakout role and I can't wait to see more. I really hope the show succeeds because it has all the potential for a stellar time.
To be honest, I'm surprised this show was even made.
In a couple of months when the full season is out I may come across as a fool and this may be an outstanding piece of comedy television, but based off the first 2 episodes, I am not optimistic. I am confused as to what the hook is to this show, it appears to simply be exaggerated and yet uninteresting events occurring around a beleaguered Odenkirk and his shockingly unmemorable cast of side "characters". Odenkirk does chew through the large majority of lines with a believable animosity towards the world and tempered rage as a man suffering a mid life crisis, but even his good, if not outstanding, performance is not enough to save an essentially premise-less series.
I have not read the source material. I don't know if it has the depth to sustain a series or if this series (so far) is just a weak adaptation. Either way, it needs to improve rapidly and find some grounding in some form of a plot, as so far I have been felt unsatisfied by the episodes that have been released.

- TriviaWhen Better Call Saul ended, Bob Odenkirk says although he is not ready to leave Saul behind, he is happy to play "a humorously disgruntled professor dealing with the world of academia and the security and instability of that world", in Straight Man.
- Créditos curiososA character in the likeness of Bob Odenkirk (William Henry Devereaux, Jr) engages in evasive maneuvers against the hammers of the typewriter keys. The opening credit sequence may serve as a metaphor, for him avoiding "writing" like the plague.
