	Author	Review
United States	Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"Disappointingly generic in its early outings"	NEG
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"It’s pretty stock material, but Danson is so willing to appear ridiculous, and such a precise physical comedian (...) that it’s funny in spite of the familiarity (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"[The first two episodes are] a jarringly flat 42 minutes of television"	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"Thankfully, Danson elevates even the more banal gags, and remains good company if nothing else"	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"There is no cohesion, no clear target, no sense of what exactly this show is aiming for — yet. Fey and Carlock’s trademark brutal humor is there"	NEU
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	The show has its charms, principally Mr. Danson, but his character will need some refining	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A rather generic sitcom from a team who should know, and can do, better. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"What’s crystal clear is that Danson can carry just about anything (...) [He] takes the universal and makes it specific; he plays a joke written for everyone so that it feels uniquely tailored to you"	POS
