    Do they try to make it seem like "aw shucks, government works if we just smile and treat each other ok!" Cause that's the cringeworthy reaction I had to the preview

    It got better as it went on. Bobby Moynihan is great

    I've been hesitant to dip my toes into the show. So many of these types of mockumentary/sitocm shows can have such rough season 1's. So yall would recommend? My favorites are Parks and Rec and The Good Place

    It’s a Tina Fey/Robert Carlock show so 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Great News are more appropriate comparisons. It’s also not mockumentary.

    I think it’s worth the watch. The jokes are there, it just needs to find more solid footing with regard to plotting.

    They both get funnier in the last five episodes. I don’t think their characters are fully hashed out yet
