Better than I expected it would be despite being completely false. I live in New York City, have been around the suburbs. None of them look or sound anything like this. I know I shouldn’t expect realism from this, but if they’re going to parody suburban culture, couldn’t they at least parody a suburban culture that actually exists?
Also, I’m surprised how liberally this show borrows from “Easy A.” The snarky redheaded girl commenting on her phony classmates in voice-over narration. On its own merits, this show is okay, but it suffers immensely by comparison. However, it has a good cast, and I like how they quickly humanized the Cheryl Hines character. Making these characters interesting and not just objects of snark will be the first step to making this work.

This has the potential to be gret despite the exaggeration of the suburb portrayal.
And good thing with the Easy A mention, Daniel! That was what I’m thinkign wnhile watching. She’s like an Emma Stone for TV. Good cll for Jeremy Sisto though to get a good show like this.

I liked it. I feel they went a little too far with the puns and the typical and cliché “I don’t belong here” rutine and lines, but you can see where this could on and become one of the best series this fall.
I liked the lead, don’t know her name yet only that yes, she looks and acts like Emma Stone in Easy A, I thought that too. I don’t think Jeremy Sisto is the right man for this, but we’ll see. I looooved Cheryl Hines here, I hope she can do her thing with this show.
In the end, the GREAT thing about this show is that they have an awesome supporting cast. It’s not just about the dad and the kid, it can be about all of them. Aside from Sisto, there wasn’t anybody that made me doubt the show.

I feel like this concept has been done a lot now, but way better. The writing needs to sharpen to be taken seriously a fresh new satire.
