With Megan Amram and probably several other producers/writers from TGP.
It doesn’t have any scifi/fantasy edge (at least not yet, I’ve only seen the first two episodes) but it’s still amusing.

    Been looking forward to starting since reading a very glowing review by The Guardian!

    One of my favorite producers. Only recently learned he was the one who turned Parks and Rec around after its first season. (Shame it got harder to rewatch after Chris Pratt’s coming out as a douche.)

      The first season of P&R has such a reputation that I just skipped it and started watching at 2. Likewise that one season of Community.

        Tbh, I never got the hate for season 1, except that on rewatching it feels flatter. But it’s nowhere near as bad as the first season of The Office (US). That actually hurt to watch.

        We talking season 4 of Community?

          Yeah: season 4 when Dan Harmon was not running it.
          I never got into the US Office… maybe because I only saw first season episodes.

            I hear ya. That first season is ROUGH. I don’t see who at the time would ever renew it. Glad they did though. It really is a show whose characters grow on you. If ever you feel like trying again, just skip straight to the second season!

      I always disliked Andy. So (shrug). April was far more interesting a character before she met him.
