The Crew

I wasn't sure what to think about this particular show when I saw that it was premiering on Netflix but being that it stars Kevin James I'd give it a shot. It does not disappoint. For anyone really missing the former "King of Queens" star and wishing as much as I did that he would make a return back to primetime television.. this is the next best thing.

The humor is spot on. The supporting cast and crew very talented. The spin on the whole idea of a Nascar crew workplace comedy is definitely unique and I can't recall it ever being done on TV before.. but it is slightly reminiscent of the movie.. The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

All in all this is definitely worth the watch. The half hour long episodes are easy to watch and it's easy to burn through Season 1 quickly. I quite enjoy it and I'm glad Kevin James is here. It's definitely entertaining to the core. If I could change any one thing.. perhaps I would bring Leah Remini in as a reoccurring character as a Nascar Rival team owner or something along those lines just as an added treat to the inner-King of Queens fan that exists in most of us.

Interesting premise and kevin james is very funny but the laugh track is an anachronism that completely ruins the viewers' ability to enjoy the show on their own terms. The writing and acting is good enough to not need a laugh track. Please get rid of it for season 2. Laugh tracks take away an actor's power. I hope Kevin James can convince the producers to get rid of the laugh track.

This has problems undoubtedly, but, for me the gags work, and, it's Kevin James. Give it a go.

Nothing wrong with this. It's a typical sitcom but it's set in a cool environment. It's funny and you won't need to follow every second to keep up. People just whine for the sake of it about any new show.

If you miss King of Queens and every sitcom from 20+ years ago with canned laughter then this show is for you. Not MUST SEE TV but passes the time fine
