Cons.
1. Jokes didn't land. None of them. It doesn't matter what kind of comedy they tried, deadpan, slapstick, cultural reference, the jokes didn't work.
2. It would have been beneficial to the show runners to have advertised this as a sci-fi family friendly show instead of a comedy "from the team who brought you The Office".
3. The plot is SO predictable after episode 2 it's an Spielbergerian adventure for 10 year old kids by the numbers.
4. The political satire is lame, you know they could be bold and go for it, but they choose to stay on the politically correct safe joke.
5. Too many supporting characters without any particular charm.
PROS
1- Steve Carrel is a great actor who can make you feel relatable for any character he plays.
2- The production values are great. (Personally, I would have enjoyed it best as a Sci Fi adventure show).
3- There is time and potencial. Do you remember the first Seinfeld's season? It sucked. I can see these talented writers making amends to the show and finding the right tone for it.
