The pilot of this new series comes out of the gate fast and strong. The writing is tight, sharp and witty. It handles (and skewers) a lot of timely topics and political correctness without being preachy or heavy handed. It's one of the stronger starts to a comedy series I've seen in a decade. If somewhat R-rated comedy offends you, I'd recommend skipping this. If a gay man as a lead character makes you angry or uncomfortable, also skip it (and maybe do some self reflection on that). The handful of negative reviews either seem upset that the gay lead character has a love life OR the that the comedy doesn't execute with a *ba-dum-tish!* laugh track style that tells you when it's time to laugh like so many, tired sitcom shows. This ain't The Big Bang Theory and that's a good thing. It's clear the cast all understands the tone and pacing and the sarcasm comes through very effectively. If the show doesn't take off/ find its audience right away, I think it'll develop a following down the line.
