There is enough to like about this series. The acting is well done, especially the understated performance of Steve Carrell. The plot premise is certainly novel and interesting. It didn't feel like it was too far out there.
Unfortunately, it fell quite short in many other areas. The biggest problem was editing. This story could have been complete in half of the time. So many of the scenes lingered, and lingered well after the point was made.
There were also too many extended metaphorical interactions. I understand that the screenwriter was trying to convey the internal monologue of the Steve Carrell character, but I found it distracting instead of illuminating.
