It's a weekend type of movie. Prepare for lots of laughter and plenty of plot twists.

I'm glad I made the effort to tune into the US premiere of Working the Engels. Before watching the pilot episode, I made the mistake of sitting through the pilot of Welcome to Sweden. I've been to Sweden, and it was much more entertaining than this homage to the Nordic lifestyle. Sitting through that 30 minutes, I laughed once. I debated whether to skip the pilot of Working the Engels thinking that, "If this is what NBC is offering for new programming, I'm better off reading a book." Within the first 2 or 3 minutes of Working the Engels, I laughed several times. This show reminded me of Arrested Development with an even more dysfunctional family. Similar to Arrested Development, Working the Engels has characters that are similar to people from real life. Perhaps I know too many lawyers and people in recovery, but this show did a great job re-framing a dull profession and recovery from addiction in a humorous light. The writers, director, and cast even managed to see the comicality of possible financial ruin, a subject that is very familiar to many Americans post the great recession that started in 2007. There's an old saying, "Years from now will laugh about this," and Working the Engels manages to fulfill that promise. Andrea Martin is a major talent with excellent comic timing, and I've seen her deliver the same zaniness in live theater. The rest of the cast appear to be relatively unknown in the American market, but the ensemble worked very well together. I am glad that the show is going to provide more than the 4-6 episodes that usually make up a summer television series.
Working the Engels is a delightful blend of humor and heartfelt moments that truly shines thanks to the comedic brilliance of Andrea Martin. The show revolves around a quirky family's struggle to stay afloat after the sudden death of their patriarch, which leaves them drowning in debt. What makes this series particularly engaging is its ability to blend relatable family dynamics with uproarious comedy, often led by Martin's impeccable timing and expressive antics.
Andrea Martin, as the matriarch of the Engel family, is an absolute gem. Her performance is both endearing and hilarious, effortlessly stealing every scene she's in with her vibrant personality and sharp wit. The show does a fantastic job of leveraging her talents, turning what could be mundane family scenarios into memorable, laugh-out-loud moments.
Overall, Working the Engels offers a refreshing take on the family sitcom genre, mixing clever writing with standout performances. It's the kind of show that provides not just laughs but also a warm, fuzzy feeling as you watch the Engels navigate their chaotic lives together. A must-watch for those who appreciate comedy with a big heart and even bigger laughs, all thanks to the incomparable Andrea Martin.

I loved this show. It was clever, quick paced -- and starred Andrea Martin! What more could any TV viewer want? I don't understand the low-ratings on this site. See it for yourself.
Hilarious show about a young lawyer who sets up her own office in Toronto. Helping her out are her mother, played by the brilliant Andrea Martin, her loopy sister, and her habitual criminal brother.
Working the Engels brings Canadian comedy icon Andrea Martin back to prime time TV. You might remember her from SCTV, the comedy show that made SNL look like crap. Martin portrayed a number of priceless characters on SCTV and after years of absence, it's awesome to see that she's just as funny as ever.
This show is very, very funny. The acting is excellent and the story lines very well written and hilarious. If you haven't seen it, check it out. You might just become a regular viewer.
