Yeah, it's OK. Needs more Ben Schwartz and Tawny Newsome.
I've only watched the first two episodes. I was really hoping Ben Schwartz would be a bigger player. And Tawny Newsom is great so far. I don't know what else I've seen her in. I need to look it up.
You need to stay with it just so you can see what happens with Phoebe.
We watched episode 3. I think my wife is out.

Mine was out after the second. There’s only 7-8 episodes so you’re pretty much halfway there.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yeah, and we just paid for the final season on Amazon. Finished the show a couple weeks ago. S1 is a little underwhelming, but it's all gravy from there on out.
We’re at the end of season one, and we’ve loved it. Cool to hear it gets even better.

The Great is one of the funniest shows I've seen in a while.

There's a lot more to it than just comedy, but man does it make me laugh.

I think I ultimately like Devs more. But that's apples and oranges -- also I believe Devs was designed to be a limited series and this has some legs; could be multiple seasons.

But, yes, in terms of a non-limited series, it's definitely toward the top of the pile. Especially for a first season. I think most of the other shows I'd hold up against it for comparison are all further into their run (Jane The Virgin, for example, which I think is one of the best shows of the last decade, but ended it's run recently).
