10pm, Sky OneSteve Carell stars in this college campus comedy about a novelist father and his heartbroken professor daughter. Greg (Carell) visits the college when Katie (Charly Clive) is going through a divorce from her fellow academic husband, who cheated on her with a student. Its co-creator is Bill Lawrence, who worked on Ted Lasso and Shrinking, and look out for Scrubs star John C McGinley, who chews up every scene. Hollie Richardson
I like Steve Carell but I did not like Ted Lasso or Shrinking, so I’m leaning towards ‘Pass’.
This however piqued my interest:
Small Prophets
More surreal comedy from Mackenzie Crook…
Sold! I loved Detectorists. Thanks for the share!
Small prophets is great! Detectorist energy for sure.
Having watched the first episode, it’s got a pretty different vibe from Ted Lasso, fwiw. Hard to say how it’ll develop with only one episode so far, though.
