Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
studioAT A well written sitcom with a decent cast. Of course it only lasted the one series! it didn't stand a chance.I thought this show was OK. It was never going to rival 'Big Bang Theory' in terms of appeal or ratings, but it was easy going enough viewing, and had some decent laughs per episode. It also had Stephen Fry, who rarely turns up in rubbish. It just sadly didn't touch that all important nerve with critics or viewers that it needed to.It didn't last beyond its first year, but American networks are so much harder to please.It is worth a watch though.
jcov-78799 How does this incredibly poor effort get on television? Poor acting. Poor writing. The story line should be funny. This is not funny.How does this incredibly poor effort get on television?

Zaine Johnson The main punchline to every joke is Stereotyping Generations. The jokes are that "Jack", the Generation X adventurer guy, is oblivious to social media, and really, everything about the internet past 2003. The other jokes are that the 20-year-old Millenials live the internet and constantly make references to it and can't fathom 10 seconds without it. THIS ISN'T FUNNY WHEN THE WHOLE SHOW IS JUST THAT.The show is not funny and not entertaining. I don't recall laughing once. The episodes are painful to watch and I barely made it through them. I don't understand why Stephen Fry would agree to be on this. I guess the paycheck was good.The show is vapid, stereotypical, unfunny, and tries to give a moral lesson about offending delicate human flowers.To sum up the show: "SOCIAL MEDIA OMG YASS", "The internet, WHAT IS THAT?"
Jens I wanted to like this, I really tried, but it's impossible. Joel McHale was hilarious and incredible witty in both "Community" and as presenter of E!'s "The Soup". Why he accepted to star in this incredible dim-witted show is beyond me. The premise of the show is that McHale plays a former outdoor reporter, who now has to work in an office with a bunch of pampered millennials. Yes, it's the old, stillborn sitcom idea: the generation gap. So a typical joke would be that Joel (who is 40something, I guess), has no idea how to use an iPhone (cue to canned laughter) and then Christopher Mintz-Plasse (30something?) helps him out. Now, isn't that funny? Hell, NO! And then there is veteran Britishcomedian Stephen Fry. He plays Joel's boss. And, like him, is completely wasted on this show. I have no idea what leverage CBS used to blackmail them into this stale sitcom, but it must be something punishable by death sentence, because anything less would be the better option.
