I didn't see a thread for it, so I'm sorry if I missed it.
There's a new trailer for it.
Carrell looks funny and not unbearable for me, so that's a nice change of pace from his floppy movies/performances. There were some funny bits, and I know it's hard to tell from a 2:30 minute trailer, but this concept seems ripe for a lot of laughs and not sure the show will live up to the expectations I had formed about it.
I'll probably still watch it unless it gets really bad reviews and even then I'd probably still watch a few episodes to see if I like it. (Also it could be me, because I'm in a rush right now trying to do stuff that maybe my attention could have been devoted more to absorbing more of the trailer, so I might have to watch it again later.)

Please don't let this turn out to be War Machine...

Was hoping this would be the Cruise thing already.

I'm gonna give this a go for the cast, despite the trailers.... They really don't have a single funny line for a 3 minute trailer?

I really dig the cast, but I didn’t laugh once watching either of the trailers.

I guess reviews are coming out now. This was what I was afraid of. It seems like there's comedy there, but the show isn't funny, at least to this reviewer. Still Parks & Rec took awhile to really be great. Also has a 44% at RT right now. I'm not sure how reviews are calculated because I see there are 4 fresh reviews, and 5 rotten reviews, but it seems like an awful start for it.

Yikes the reviews are horrible. Well, check out Greg's other show Upload. You will not be disappointed.

I'm watching this, but, yeah, it ain't great.
One of the main issues, if the not the main one, is that the show can't seem to decide whether Carell's character is a decent and smart guy, although too old-fashioned and unflexible for his own good, or a bumbling idiot stumbling from one idiocy to the next.
