The main leads were quite good with their performance and dynamic, while the supporting cast were a mixed bag between bad and decent. It's a sitcom so the main selling point would be its comedy. It was interesting initially with a good pace...

The comedy here is a complete miss. Outside of a few pop culture references and some ridiculous overacting, this might be the worst attempt at comedy I've seen in years. Absolutely tedious to sit through.
