I came to this because I finished the Brittish version and wanted to see what the American one was like. I figured it would be a slow start for the first episode but wow, this was genuinely bad television. I'm 25 and every character felt like it was the mustache twirling cartoon version of the stereotypical trope an early-20s writer would imagine in their head. The entire episode was as formulaic as it comes and felt like a committee decided what jokes would be in it. I kept feeling like if I rolled my eyes any harder they might just keep going (and as bad as that joke is its better than any in the episode, sadly). Other reviews of the show have said it finds its footing and voice later so I'll continue watching. I'm not even going to compare it to the brittish one either, this was thr epitome of network televisions shortcomings.
