I'm surprised to see critic reviews for the show being negative, I really enjoyed it! I think the show balances comedy and character development very well, and its nice to see Steve Carell in a role where his character is a hardworking, devoted father and husband. A lot of parallels are being drawn between his Michael Scott and this Commander, but I think Carell imbues new life to this role that doesn't make it seem like a carbon-copy of Scott.
