Being the lead off after Abbott elementary will help with that.

It's a fun comedy. Much better than its boring leadin

I watched this without knowing the hook of the show & was still really enjoying it. Only minor quibble is Lauren Ash feels slightly miscast but I think it will be okay the longer it runs.

Lol, this is damning with faint praise. The ratings are nothing to write home about.

Yes, I was very surprised they cast her for that role, she fucking nailed Dina on 'Superstore' so it's been hard to accept her in this.

I haven't watched it yet but does the premise of her being visted by the dead people she writes about last? Cause the marketing of the show did a 180. It was all about the premise before the show aired and then every commercial since then has just made it look like a regular workplace comedy so I didn't know if they retooled it.

It's a cute enough show...

She's still visited by at least one dead person in every episode but they're just a device for her to realize something and/or fix some aspect of her life. Sometimes she also helps the ghost get some closure, although the way the gimmick works she can just ignore them altogether. Given that the main character only has that much growth to achieve it's inevitable that the secondary ones will get progressively more screentime. All in all it's a pretty mild sitcom but I personally liked it better than most of the new crop of comedies.

I haven't seen Superstore and it looks like Lauren Ash plays Lexie? I like the character of Lexie - she has just the right balance of out of touch and sympathetic

She's visited by at least one every episode - they help her solve a problem or point something out and sometimes she helps them get closure.

I just dumped the timer last night. I wanted to like it. I like many of the actors, but it just seemed to be light on entertainment.

The first episode totally sucked and I doubt that it could have improved enough to bother watching.

Network sitcoms tend to have sucky pilot episodes. They're often awkward and choppy. That's why I usually give a network sitcom a few episodes.

[That being said, the pilot episode for 'Animal Control' was surprisingly good for a network sitcom pilot - might of helped that they borrowed the opening from a classic 'This American Life' segment.]

Eh, the show isn't anything special. Gina Rodriquez deserves better. Jane the Virgin was a once in a lifetime type of show and she deserved everything she got from that. I was hoping for something just as amazing for her for her next series, but instead we got another forgettable network sitcom that plays the same note every single episode. Don't get me wrong, the show isn't the worst thing ever. But it's just so.. meh. I tune out every time I watch and end up looking at my phone.
