American Auto begins as a car manufacturer welcomes a new CEO who comes from a drug company and doesn't like cars. So far, the series is a mix of incompetent and semi-competent people going from disaster to disaster created by the CEO (Anna Gasteyer, who beautifully captures the brash, unjustified self-confidence of an American executive). The series is from the folks behind "Superstore" and it's kind of like the flip side; instead of workers talking about orders from "corporate," we see the disaster that goes on in "corporate."
The cast is good, the jokes are often hilarious, and the critics were pretty favorable, so I was shocked after watching a few episodes to come here and discover the users of imdb (and rotten tomatoes, which I also checked out) just hate this show.
Which I'm very sad about, because if the reviews here are representative of the general attitude of the public then this show is doomed. And it's seriously one of the funniest and most likable sitcoms out now.
