I completely adore Ed Helms, he is hilariously funny but always plays his characters with such joyful precision and Mike Schur rarely misses in the great comedy department . All that said, this doesn't work.
Cast are generally not strong actors, jokes are funnier than the way they are delivered but the cast has no cohesion or chemistry and you don't believe they have all known each other all their lives in a small town. The show seems to focus on pushing Helms character into the background for the most part and as a result, it doesn't deliver. It should be centred around him but still it would have needed more likeable characters and stinger actors.
Hope Helms and Schur work together again but I just didn't find this one great.
