When your product is a comedy about an office, a bar, or a retail store, you have a huge chunk of your audience in on the jokes by default. There is a bit of an uphill climb when you decide to base your yuks in a less mass-experienced scenario.. no matter how common the bonds. The writers did quite well to tailor the many humorous tragedies of the modern auto industry (and auto consumerism) in a way to include most of us. That said... I have no idea why I want to watch more of this. Previous commenters were mostly on the mark that very few actors shine. The lead assistant blonde chick has OBVIOUSLY watched hundreds of hours of America Ferrera and ran with it. The head blonde CEO did the same with Glenn Sturgis but thankfully shunned the Kermit voice. You all know who the Mateo is in this show..duh. Marcus *is* Marcus. The British guy seriously must be there to confuse commenters.... a virtual speed bump which I refuse to fall for. Tye White has charisma. I expect great things from Tye. He may not save the show but if the powers that be figure out some way to stop the damn camera dizzy-over-the-shoulder-pingpong-wackiness *and* find a few more interesting plot lines then we may have a satisfying 6 seasons here.
Retool the roles of the brit guy and Dori. They are fine with the acting but I seriously hope they are secret weapons for future episodes.
