I started to watch this was the anticipation of being let down but how wrong I was.
As many have said in here you expect this to be about a buffoon American like a fish out of water, but you soon realise this is a lot more.
The writing and jokes were spot on, even the simplest joke of him shaking a cereal box and one massive shredded wheat or Nate's reaction to finding a poo on the pitch.
You keep expecting it to go like most programmes where you are waiting for the obligatory bad thing to happen and then kindness and hope wins through.
Jason Sudeikis has created a fantastic character and I found myself taking mental notes on how I would like to improve my management.
Every character seems to have depth and I can't pick one above the other, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt (quiet brilliance), Nick Mohammed are all superb and so good to see Brett Goldstein getting a meaty role. I saw him in standup and only knew him as the guy from Derek at the time, but now realise what an awesome actor he is.
I really want to try and give a balanced view but I just loved it and so gutted I got to episode three to find out I had caught up and was weekly.
I think this may be my favourite comedy of all time. Damn this balanced view really isn't working out well here.
I love to see kindness winning through without all the silly cliched dramatic high and lows.
Absolute comedy perfection.
