What the heck ?
The actors are excellent. I don't get why this particular episode was chosen as the pilot, to represent this series, but I hope it's to leave room for improvement . Real life is stranger than fiction and so it doesn't make sense why this is fictional at all.
Apparently you can make this stuff up.
If the show is meant to a comedy or to elevate morality, both feel negated by the increasingly bizarre scenarios as the episode unfolds.
The cast alone will bring me back for episode 2 , that and I hope that I am missing something.

Quite good. Not amazing, but still quite good.
I'd take both the overly negative and overly positive reviews that you'll see for this episode and future episodes of this show with a grain a salt. This show is engineered to be highly political in order to get a rise out of both the left and the right--which will inevitably be reflected in the reviews.
That being said, I really enjoyed this episode. Was it a bit on the nose? Yes. Was the storyline and legal logistics a bit contrived? Absolutely. But none the less, it was thoroughly entertaining and, more importantly, left me thinking--a rare feat for most shows these days.
Ben Platt and Tracie Ellis Ross were phenomenal (as always) and though some of the jokes may have missed, I burst out in laughter quite a few times.
Will this be as impactful as Black Mirror? That remains to be seen. Is it worth a watch? Absolutely, if you're not overly critical.

This a premise alright
This episode starts off fine but very quickly becomes absurd. This is essentially a subversion of black mirror-where everything is incredibly serious. It recovers a bit in the last 10 minutes, finding it's footing on the "moral" of the story, so it's worth the watch but I'm not sure if this quality will sustain me through the rest of the series.
Wowwwww
Insanely original.....might be the fall later but for now fresh is how you feel when watching that's pretty much it really fresh.
