I had absolutely no expectation of liking this show, but I do love Bradley Whitford. (Yes, there's West Wing but have you seen his guest appearances on Mom? Out of the park.) So I reluctantly watched it but only because my partner is the world's biggest West Wing fan, and now, after this awesome pilot, I'm looking forward to the whole season.
It is a series opener, but they managed to get the requisite exposition out of the way with a lot of story fun and intrigue. They gave us plenty of reasons to like the characters without being cliche or sappy. And they showed us they know how to establish just the right amount of conflict to provide some plot tension but to make sure we know it's a sitcom.
And then they wrapped it all up with an ending that rocked the house down, honoring what we expected in a way we never expected.
My sincere appreciation to the makers of Perfect Harmony. I'm looking forward to spending 22 minutes in Kentucky each week with my new friends.
And yes, Bradley Whitford was exquisite in this role.
