Judy Berman TIME Magazine 1d
The unhinged brilliance of peak-era 30 Rock might be impossible to recreate. But in its first season, Reggie Dinkins already qualifies as a hell of a comeback. Go to Full Review

Maybe with that extra time, this affectionate, funnier-than-average sitcom could become the best version of itself and ascend, if not to 30 Rock levels, then at least to Girls5eva ones. Go to Full Review
Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Jan 20
Watch the pilot for the unlikely comic pairing of Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, but know that while I chuckled at the first couple of episodes, the third and fourth episodes were the ones that really made me eager to watch more. Go to Full Review

9/10
With jokes that come fast and stick hard (with some delightfully funny and memorable one-liners), it’s rare to see a sitcom that only gets better as it goes. Go to Full Review

Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe shine in this hilarious, heartfelt mockumentary series. Go to Full Review

If you aren't already a fan of these particular traits in these actors, I don't know if this pilot will convert you. I do know that all three of them have proven their comic chops. And, when given the room to let loose, they're all exceptionally funny. Go to Full Review

Will @Cbdude Jan 21 One of the better pilots I've seen in a looooong time. Really good laughs for a first episode: good writing, excellent editing (some of those quick visual gags had me rolling). Cast is genuinely fun to watch. I made an account to say how much I liked it, that says something. Can't wait to see more See more Lee S @LeeJS Jan 20 OK, so Tracy is basically playing Tracy Jordan from 30 Rock. Thing is, who cares? When it's this funny - and when TV comedy in general is in the poor state of health it's been in for the last 5-10 years - I'll take it! This could be the first worthy successor to the genre since 30 Rock, Brooklyn 99, Parks & Rec and Community departed our screens. The pilot sets a high bar; let's hope it can continue to live up to it.
