The Launch

After watching the previews, I was a little worried the comedic timing would just not hit the spot, and the series would take itself too seriously. The first episode however gripped me enough to keep watching.

The one downside to me was that Carell's character's desperation to keep it all straight in face of this lunacy of an undertaking, took all the way to the end to really feel genuine, and not put-on and over the top.

I'll try one more episode. Cast should be able to deliver much more

Big budget, but that doesn't save it. Predictable simple humour. I barely completed episode 1. Funniest part was the very last scene. This is not for all mankind.

After reading many disappointed reviews of this show, I was very skeptical to watch it. But it isn't that bad in my opinion, well at least for now.

This episode is very flawed, the pace and the tone often clumsy, some awkward and predictable jokes here and there, but it was still enjoyable.

It's mainly because when the show gets hysterical, it's really funny (especially the ending). And for that I'll keep on watching the show to see more of these moments.

I was as hyped as everyone else watching the trailer and reading "From the guys who brought you The Office" and seeing that cast being lead by Steve Carrell. Unfortunately, that's where the hype ended.

I fell asleep on two separate occasions trying to get through this pilot episode. It took me three sittings to get through a 36 minute episode. I was uninterested by the story/plot, the dialogue seems plain, the characters seem dry and there's no humour despite attempting to have some.

Maybe this is bad... Or maybe it's just really not for me. I'll watch one or two more episodes before I abandon ship and rewatch The Office for the 30th time.
