Just discovered this little gem on Netflix. Gentle humour with good ensemble cast. Nicole Ritchie is very good as the vacuous co-anchor playing against John Michael Higgins as Chuck, the old school news guy.
Briga Heelan and Andrea Martin work well as daughter and helicopter mum.
Adam Campbell adds a little British humour and works well as the middle man between Chuck and the rest of the crew.
It's not that original in terms of format or content but it makes me laugh, which is all it needs to do.
Great News, even though it was short-lived, is worth a binge watch. While it has it's issues, which many have pointed out, check the dates those reviews were posted on. The negative ones were mostly posted in 2017, during the show's first season. However, the series solved it's issues by the time the fifth episode of the season aired. But, it wasn't until the seventh episode that the series truly began to shine. It is one the best sitcoms to air on NBC this decade. It's so witty and humorous. Each character really comes into their own after a handful of episodes. The character of Chuck, played by John Micheal Higgins, is the most lovable of them all. His charm is irresistible and I found myself enjoying his portrayal most of all. Give a watch and stick with it, it gets better, even when you think it's already at it's best. Support the series online, and tweet at Hulu or Netflix to pick-up the series for a third season, if you like it. It deserves to thrive like Tina Fey's other Netflix sitcom, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which is also quite funny, but not as funny as Great News.
There were actual moments in this series that had me laughing out loud. This is a series that I really do think all ages could relate to. I absolutely love the mother character, she can be seen as overdone and crazy but just perfectly so. (The time she requests Liam Neeson... :')) I never go into any show with expectations so I don't think you should either, but I enjoyed this show and it made me laugh.
This is one of those shows that was wrongfully cancelled and should be brought back. Especially considering the end of season 2, but I wont go there. If you like 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Great News is right up your alley.
I just found this show THIS weekend and binged the entire thing. It's so funny! The humor is so much like 30 Rock. The humor I hope to find in shows these days but don't. I love all the characters. Carol is so funny and random. I just wish there were more or it had been saved by Netflix. Please do more things, Tina and Tracy!
