The early promos turned me off of this show , but the critical reviews made me decide to check it out and it was better than I thought it would be and there's potential here with the large group of characters, but this ep still had too much Andy S for me to give it more than an ok. I might give it a couple more eps to see if it makes an impression.
He can be somewhat funny occasionally but he's never serious. In one scene he's wearing a speedo and that's the one of the jokes/ Later, he says the speedo went inside him.
The funniest part of the episode is when one of the characters shows pics of his daughters, named Cagney and Lacey.
I really enjoyed it, I think if ti gets the chance it could turn into a good comedy. Samberg is of course the weakest link but I managed to tolerate him when he was in scenes with the new Captain. Andre Braugher is the strongest part of the show but some of the supporting characters already have potential. Comedy pilots are pretty hard to get right I mean look at Parks and Rec, Happy Endings and many more they had ok or even weak pilots/early episodes and pulled through to become excellent.
So will be watching more of this just hope Samberg can tone it down a bit.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this show good start hope to see more of it...
ReplyDeleteIt'd be watchable without Samberg.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pretty decent episode, gonna watch a few more at least to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteSamburg is the only reason I am not watching it. I really don't like his kind of comedy, don't find him funny at all.

I liked it! One of my favorite pilots so far :)
ReplyDeleteSlight shades of Barney Miller.................
ReplyDeleteNormally I don't like that kind of comedy, but I thought it was hilarious. Don't know if that works for the whole season but I'll give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteThe episode has good moments. Characters are likable.
ReplyDeleteNot laugh out loud funny but it made me smile, the characters are actually quite interesting. I will check it out next week and see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI actually liked it pleasantly surprised, I like Samberg, of course from his Snl days!!!
ReplyDeleteI liked it a lot more than I expected. Andy Samberg rocks! I hope the ratings stick because I would like to stick with it! So much potential
