The show is good, it has a lot of light-hearted jokes and does a lot of political satire. It also has a lot of feel-good elements, which I'm sure everyone can appreciate. The cast is brilliant. Love Steve Carell and John Malkovich in their roles. Ben Schwartz is basically reprising his role from Parks and Recreation. There are a lot of similarities to The Office too, but don't expect this to be exactly like it.
I don't understand why it gets many bad reviews just based on one season with ten episodes that ends in a cliffhanger, though.
Give it time and it's probably the best upcoming series. Even The Office wasn't spectacular in it's first season but it's one of the most fondly watched series today.
Would recommend everyone to watch it! :)
