I really wanted to like this and hoped as they got into second season (which frankly surprised me) there is something missing from this show. Heart? Soul? Or maybe good writing, characters that you can like and root for. For a work place comedy with scientist watch Better off Ted. I mean the whole premise is good, The acting from the Lowes is pretty good. But it meanders and while only trying to fill 30 minutes seems to never get going at all. I really thought by second season they would find a rhythm but they really didn't and episodes tend to lag and have flat spots and story lines are dropped out of nowhere.
Loved the first season. The science, the relationships, Rob Lowe's combination genius/mental illness. Even the son working at getting out of Dad's shadow. Anna as the glue and so clever in her purposely "mundane" role. It was funny with lots of witty lines and retorts. And so happy it was renewed. And then the second season started. Forced and cloying family drama. A new character who is complete cringe and deserves zero screen time. Complete waste of the two lab women who were central to season one. Not a single chuckle the first three episodes. And I can't watch anymore. It's worse than pulling teeth. So I leave with that.
From the creator of the the brilliant Better off Ted and it shows.
If you like that show (especially the science/lab bits) you'll like this and if also like Rob Lowe in stuff like Parks n Rec and The Closer then you'll love this.
Its basically if you took Rob's Parks n Rec character and put him in charge of Better off Ted lab.
Add his real life son for some nice bonding over the loss of the wife/mum and this show has some nice tender moments too.
As others have said this is very fast/fake talking - its knows its funny and its trying to be, not realistic. That style might not be for everyone but I personally love it.

I didn't at first like the frenetic energy of the fast talking dialog and the handheld camera work that seemed like it was flying off chaotically, but it does grow on you and the story and cast chemistry settles in. The shows humor, look and feel, as well as the sound effects reminds me a lot of Avenue 5, and that's a good thing.
At first, Rob Lowe seemed to be reprising his Grinder role, but it's the schtick that he is good at. And the quirky cast are hilarious and very likable. And unlike Will Smith's untalented son who didn't deserve to be in show business, Rob Lowe's son is fantastic and delivers his lines perfectly. And the twins! Funny! Parody of the Winklevoss twins, maybe?
This is a good comedy fix.

This is a really fun and funny show. I know not everyone likes all comedies. One star? Some of these reviews are way too critical. This really is a good show. Much funnier than those horrible reboots how I met your father, that 90's show, and Night Court!
This was a lot funnier than I had expected, hopefully it get's renewed for another season. There is no ridiculous laugh track, thankfully. The writing is fresh and funny. The actress that plays Anna is perfect as the CEO of Rob Lowes Character Ellis's company. She is great as the funny yet "straight" man to Lowe's wildness. Rob Lowe's son does a great job playing his son in the show. Def worth the time.
