Alex, Inc.

With all the comedy show's viewers have available to them each week, I can't see them tuning into 'Alex, Inc'. after one viewing.

Fans of 'Scrubs' might remember Braff narrating each episode...and he does the same thing here. Hey, if the premise worked once why not do it again? Because it's old and stale, that's why. Very 90's.

The storyline isn't fresh either. A guy gets sick of working at his corporate job and decides to venture out on his own ~ deceiving his wife in the process. Honestly can't recommend this show, or give it more than 3*.

I really want to like this show. I love Braff. But I cannot watch his costar (the wife)without cringing. I have watched 7 episodes, and am giving up. I am disappointed. Perhaps the plot line would have eventually made up for the jumbled beginning, but I couldn't watch long enough to see that happen.

Zach Braf delivers. Is the show silly? Yes. Are there moments where "JD" shines through Alex? Definitely. I think it's early days yet, but I think this will be a heartfelt family driven comedy that shines a light on Braff as a father trying to have the American dream in a cynical time in US history.

The actors are decent but it isn't really worth your time. I watched the whole season and can understand why it was cancelled. There really isn't much interesting going on in the show at all. Most of the plot is standard boring stuff. I enjoyed Zach Braff in Scrubs though, and if you did it's probably worth checking this out at least, but it certainly isn't amazing. Watch it if you're really stuck for something to watch.

I've given this show half a season, more or less. I like Zach Braff and really hoped for something special. Unfortunately... it's just very "blah". The premise, to me, is extremely dated. I'm sure, obviously, there is still a lot of risk in starting a "vlog" as a sole source of income. But.... this really feels more relevant in 2008 than in 2018. The risks, rewards, perils, etc are pretty well defined at this point. This makes everything about the story feel dated and trite. In the end, it feels like they fight to lay standard sit-com tropes over a "fresh" concept that is anything but fresh. Ten episodes. I can't really see giving it more of a chance. :\
