About

"Old-school grit clashes with millennial office culture"

An adventure journalist and outdoorsman is forced to take a desk job managing a team of young digital staffers at the magazine he used to write for. The setup mines the culture clash between his rugged, old-school ways and their phone-obsessed, hypersensitive habits for easy laughs. It's a traditional multi-camera network sitcom, broad and joke-dense, leaning heavily on its star's exasperated charisma to sell fairly predictable generational-gap material. Watching it feels comfortable and undemanding, the kind of show you half-watch, though the jokes rarely surprise and the millennial stereotypes wear thin fast.

Watch it for

Joel McHale's dry, exasperated energy carrying otherwise familiar generational-clash jokes.

Maybe skip if

you find millennial stereotypes grating or want sharper, less predictable sitcom writing.
