Im on episode two and its not clicking. The over-the-top cringe humor annoys me. It reminds me of Kimmi Schmidt, another show I didnt enjoy. It feels like the writing has almost no subtlety. Really fascinating premise with some decent characters, but the interactions Kristin Bell has with every side character has me wanting to shut it off so far.
Im trying to figure out why Parks & Rec, The Office, and other shows that are kinda similar really hook me, but this isnt. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I liked the first few episodes, but I think I wasn't completely hooked until four or five?
But yes, to answer our question, yes yes yes. Probably my favorite show from last year. --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD ... Copied to Clipboard!

I personally loved S1, haven't seen S2 yet. However:

I think its Kristen Bell. Her character is annoying. And none of her interactions feel real, like shes trying to be a funny character instead of being funny.

I also think P&R is pretty subtle. Leslie definitely isnt, though she does nail being OTT a lot.
Maybe its the writing. This also happened to me with Brooklyn 911. Watched 2 episodes and the humor is just so contrived thus far. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Comedies usually aren't amazing from the very beginning. They often need numerous episodes to find their feet and figure out the humor for the various characters. Since you mention Parks and Rec, just look at their first season compared to everything that came after.

Yeah, P&R has a bad first season, but it kinda really shifts hard in S2. Same with The Office.

PumpkinCoach 02/17/18 10:51:48 PM #25: |
I thought the premise was a bit hokey at first too, but they make good on it and explore it in a more surprising and considered manner than i was expecting. If you're not enjoying the humour though, then that isn't likely to change. Personally, I think it's decently funny, but I enjoy it more as high concept sci-fi than as a sitcom.
And yeah, avoid spoilers, and I say this as someone who doesn't care about 90% of spoilers. --- http://i.imgur.com/vMmiXMu.gif this is a world... where BKSheikah eats gurus ... Copied to Clipboard!

I like Community a lot. Rewatched S1-3 last month, so much fun. It feels like a combination of Parks and Rec and Lost to me. It's an above average comedy that I find myself particularly invested in because I don't know what will happen next. The Last Man on Earth was similarly compelling to me for its first couple seasons, but isn't as consistently interesting now. what other sitcoms do you find too over the top? --- For your BK_Sheikah00.

Only seen the first season.
I didn't like it at first. Waited until I was in the right mood to watch it, and enjoyed the rest of the season I didn't like Kimmy Schmidt, but this one feels creative and with enough plot to keep me watching --- You did indeed stab me in the back.

It's easily the best comedy on TV. To people who aren't sure about it, you should probably watch more. The season 1 finale alone is worth watching the first season for, and is probably one of the beat season finales ever.
Season 2 really does a great job subverting expectations every time and leaving you with a cliffhanger every episode that leaves you utterly clueless on how the next episode will go. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! ...
